Sometimes I don’t know how to respond, so I just stay quiet Sometimes I don’t know how to respond, so I just stay quiet. It’s not that I don’t have words. It’s that I have too many, and none of them feel right. So I pause. I delay replies. I go silent for a while. Not because I’m angry, not because I don’t care… but because my mind is trying to settle itself. People see silence and think something is wrong with me. But most times, I’m just trying to feel okay again before I speak. I always come back… just not immediately.
