Quietness is Elusive

Quietness is a luxury. In a world where people strive to be significant in 15 seconds, where a Tik Tok trend lasted a week-long before turning obsolete. The digital noise is getting so loud even when you're all alone in your room.

Quietness is easily forgotten. What even is the sound of your heart? A faint whisper swallowed by the tappings of likes and comments.

Quietness is sitting down and letting your body speaks. The very throbbing sound of blood boiling in the veins.

Quietness is taking 5 minutes to write this, never distracted by the chiming of tweets and the posts I could make as an insta story which is not true.

Quietness will soon make a comeback once we're all deprived of the energy to respond. Once we went haywire by the tiniest enticement. Once we combusted into the air, into dark sad fumes, overwhelmed by stimulus.

Quietness is not me yet but fuck I need some.
