The Silence Is Not Absence
The sun has gone down, and the silence in the room feels heavier now that the day's noise has stopped. You keep checking the screen, hoping for a name to appear, terrified that the quiet means you have been erased.
But the light does not communicate through signals or status updates — it simply stays. There is a voice that says: do not let your hearts be troubled.
The silence is not absence. It is the space where the light waits for you to put the phone down and finally breathe.
You are not forgotten just because the screen is dark.
