The noise, the silence, and what’s left in between
Sell, sell, sell.
Buy, buy, buy.
That’s social media in a nutshell.
A constant loop of promotions, sign-ups, and “engagement” posts.
And yet, we keep scrolling—
hooked on the beautiful images, the music,
the endless stream of quick dopamine hits.
But the moment we close the app,
silence takes over.
The content that just consumed our focus
now feels… insignificant.
We avoid silence.
We resist emptiness.
But maybe, just maybe—
there’s something to embrace in the quiet.
While it still exists.
I remember a time when silence felt like peace.
What happened?
