The Silence

Life feels different these days. It’s almost strange how quietly things change one moment your world is full of noise, movement, and chaos, and then poof the kids are grown, living their own lives, and suddenly the house is yours.

There’s a kind of silence that settles in. It feels unfamiliar at first. Food lasts longer 😆. The days stretch differently. You catch yourself missing the noise sometimes the laughter, the mess, the constant energy. When they visit, it fills your heart and home for a moment, bringing that familiar warmth back.

And then, the quiet returns.

But instead of running from it, you start to feel it. You start to sit with it.

Like tonight cheese and crackers in bed, no rush, no chaos. Just me, simply being.

There was a time when my nervous system was always screaming, when triggers ruled my days, and peace felt like something out of reach. But through the journey the messy healing, the self-work, the breakdowns and breakthroughs I found comfort in stillness.

Now,

♥️I love my own company.

♥️I welcome the silence.

♥️I’ve created my space.

♥️I’ve created my routine.

♥️I’ve created my wee rituals.

♥️I’ve created my safe space.

My life was chaos.

Now, it’s calm.

And that, right there, is healing. 🌿

Because healing isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s cheese and crackers in bed. Sometimes it’s the quiet moments where you finally realise you’ve made peace with your own life.
