Wow. I grew up believing that my choice of silence was a weakness. I saw others who could talk consistently, seemingly never choosing silence, as more powerful. This was very validating for me, as it allowed me to heal what I thought was a damaged part of me.
This is so validating and I so appreciate this perspective. I have found that silence, oftentimes, has been weaponized against me to break my argument down or to ignore my existence when I am around affluent or very privileged people. I needed this reminder that intentional silence can be a powerful tool for me and my community as well.
