Silence

I've been silent now alone with my own thoughts for several hours. It struck me that the noises in my head are so much more disruptive than the outside noises. I was scared of silence when I was younger. I called people constantly, I watched TV, anything to avoid listening to myself. Lately I have been happy to be silent. I'm still prone to covering up my own thoughts,but I'm also very aware now of when I'm doing it and why. Silence helps me stay focused. My roommate, Mouse just walked in and reminded me to keep this blog focused, but he disrupted my silence. And then there's the ding from Mr Sailor dude and the IM. Don't they get that I'm focused? oooh fireworks outside!
