Sometimes, silence is truly golden. It is a lost art form in some; however, what many don’t realize is sometimes silence is all someone needs to obtain peace.
There are times when words cannot be expressed. Sometimes it’s just not the right time, or the right words do no form.
Sometimes, you just need presence. No judgement, no advice, not even deep-level understanding. Sometimes you just need silent presence.
Silent presence to someone who needs it most still shows that you care. It shows that even if you’re not sure of the right words, you’re willing to be there in case you’re needed.
And being needed could mean lending your shoulder to cry on, your hand to hold, even your ear to listen, your eyes to read something someone couldn’t verbalize. Sometimes, you’re just needed, and it’s just as important as anything else.
Just wanted to send this out to anyone who needs a presence, and to anyone who feels lost in how to help a friend in need; sometimes we just need you to be there. It’s a lot simpler than you think 🙂.

This is interesting because we often try to find the right words to say in fear of silence. Even if we sound silly. We fill sounding silly beats being silent. I think many may feel silence is a form of disrespect, but I disagree. As you mentioned- just being “there” is enough and speaks volumes in itself ✨
