One of the things that always strikes me the most after a breakup is the silence. The exceedingly loud and inescapable silence. It’s seemingly all around. Most people will do anything and everything to fill it. With anything. With other people, with substances so they don’t have to think about it, with reckless activity. Sometimes they fill it with constrictive things. New hobbies, getting in touch with friends or family, exercise.
But when then…it’s still an attempt at avoidance. Anything to drown out that deafening silence.
I want to encourage you to sit with it. And to listen to it. To listen to the silence. Accept that it will be uncomfortable. Accept that you may hate it. At least at first. Accept that it might make you cry. But sit with it.
The silence has answers for you. Answers you need to hear. Don’t try to drown it out…try to tune into it and hear what it’s saying to you.
