I'm trying to learn that I don't always need to speak. Just because something can be said doesn't mean it should be. Not every situation needs my opinion, not every moment needs my reaction. I've spoken so many words already, knowing full well how they can build or break, and never be taken back. Going forward I am choosing not to waste my energy where it won't be valued or understood. I need to silence the noise, so I can hear myself again. To hear more, to understand more deeply, and carry fewer regrets.
