When I realized silence can be comfortable

Today, I spent time with someone without feeling pressure to keep the conversation going.we both became quite and surprisingly, it did not feel awkward. I used to think silence something was wrong. Today it felt peaceful. Maybe comfort with someone is partly the freedom to stop performing conversation.

People online often describe their favourite relationships as those where silence needs no explanation. Reading such experiences made me appreciate today's moment more. Not every connection needs constant entertainment. Sometimes sitting beside someone without filling every pause is its own kind of trust. I left feeling calmer than after many conversations.
