The Day Maya Heard Silence Speak Louder Than Words
Maya had always loved noise. The noise of cities, of people, of movement. She thought it made her feel alive. But everything changed the day she took a spontaneous solo trip to the mountains, chasing a quiet she didn’t even know she needed.
On the third day, sitting by a lake, she stopped scrolling. No music. No messages. Just the sound of wind on water and a heart beating in her chest. That silence spoke to her in a way no one ever had.
That day, she scribbled this in her notebook:
“The most beautiful truths are whispered in stillness.”
What followed was a deep need to collect words that didn’t just sound beautiful, but felt like a hug to the soul. Words that healed, that awakened, that reminded her what it means to truly live.
This post is for the Mayas out there. Searching for meaning, beauty, and the kind of words that live longer than noise.
