Sometimes, silence says it all
Did you ever feel like communication is just… exhausting? Like, no matter how much you say, people still don’t hear you? Maybe it’s because they’re too busy crafting their next response while you’re still mid-sentence. Or maybe it’s because, in the age of nonstop notifications and just checking in texts, no one actually knows how to have a real conversation anymore.
We live in a world where “K” is an acceptable response, emojis do all the heavy lifting, and somehow, reading a text means you’re obligated to reply within 0.3 seconds. And let’s not even start on the cryptic social media posts designed to make people guess what’s wrong. (Newsflash: If you have something to say, just say it. We’re not psychic.)
So, what’s the solution? Yelling louder? Typing in all caps? Adding more exclamation points? Nope. Sometimes, the best move is to walk away from the noise and find some actual peace and quiet.
That’s why I love places like waterfalls, nature’s way of reminding us that silence isn’t empty; it’s full of answers. There’s something about the sound of rushing water, the absence of small talk, and the simple act of just being that resets everything. No one’s asking, Did you get my text? No one’s expecting you to “circle back” on anything. It’s just you, the moment, and maybe a little damp air messing up your hair.
Because here’s the truth: Not every message needs an instant reply. Not every thought needs to be broadcast. And sometimes, the best conversation you can have is the one you don’t have at all.
So if you're feeling unheard, overwhelmed, or just over it—maybe it's time to take a break, step outside, and let nature do the talking. Trust me, waterfalls make everything better!
It is like you are broadcasting from my mind @nathalie-s
I agree just getting out in nature and leaving it all behind is great therapy.
Waterfalls are awesome 😎
Have the best week ahead

hi...@nathalie. I have always enjoyed your post.
Sincerely the best conversation you can have with a person is the conversation you did not have at all..
This really makes alot of sense. Interesting write up.Thanks for sharing.
Is a beutifull place.
Today, before going for a walk and having lunch at a cafe, I asked my children and wife to leave their phones at home. I also left my phone at home. It was nice to be back in the 20th century, where there were no gadgets. We had a good time, chatting and joking. Sometimes, one of us wanted to take our phone out of our pocket and looked confused :)
This site seems like a place of rowing for my soul.Nice place
I was a friend today who made this comment that sometimes silence is the best answer when it seems your voice is to low to be heard

STOPI have a deep need for peace and quiet, and the more that I've learned, and the more that I've come to know, the less I've come to say. When I'm engaged, I can express a whole lot, and quite passionately, but that not often, so most of the time I say little. Oh, and yes, nature does make everything better! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
