Silence: The Absence Of Sound

Each passing hour ignites a fire inside of me, the flame is getting more and more like winter’s bitter revenge.

Silence: The Absence Of Sound
Every Pixel

They say silence is the absence of sound. But do not believe something simply because you hear it or even can attest to it. Who is one to say that a principle is so if they have not walked in seven billion shoes? If this is true, then why is it that I, myself, hear voices when I’m sitting alone? Am I really alone? Or is the definition of silence misinterpreted? They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Do you miss me? Or is your heart growing fonder of my absence? One might ask how questioning the world is becoming to me, and I would say, we must all be cats because though curiosity may kill us, knowledge will always be our savior.

Yes, I am a writer if you haven’t figured that out already. It’s the only way that I can make the blurred lines clearer for the people in this world that walk that blurred line like a tightrope. Unfortunately, once you read this, you will never be the same, and if you chose to continue on, either wisdom or stupidity has reigned victorious. They’re one and the same, which is hard for you to understand now, but I will use the comparison for the sake of clarification. When you reach the end, if you make it that far, there will be a choice to make. That is all I can say for now.

1 am

Time is limited. They do not know I have contacted you; either out of foolishness or mere ignorance. I cannot tell you where I am because it is always changing and the location is never revealed to me. You must understand that love is not a feeling, because it is not a choice. But do not shy away from using your heart, for your mind and emotions should be of the same entity; it is humans who have separated them as church and state, state and church. Love is not one and the same with danger. It is only detrimental for those whose hearts’ cannot contain the sheer power of compassion. A heart that beats for others is much nobler than a heart that bleeds for a cause. I was not sure I was alive but the beat keeps time for everything here. Am I going mad?

2 am

Something is fighting against my tongue as I attempt to teach you how to survive. But do not fret, even though my mental fatigue is tested, my will to spread what I know is far more powerful. This is beyond me, however, I must admit there are some things even I cannot explain about my existence. It’s as if extraneous memories were pieced together by some unknown power to form a puzzle in which the pieces do not fit. The paintbrush has been placed in my hand, with no artistic experience, and all that is ingrained in my mind is the extreme need to paint a picture.

3 am

Each passing hour ignites a fire inside of me, the flame is getting more and more like winter’s bitter revenge. If my words have eluded you, render this memorable if you seek to continue on with both your body and soul intact with one another. It is imperative that you do not confuse foolishness with recklessness. For it is reckless to gamble your money away, and a fool’s errand to assume your money will remain intact.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
