I don’t consider myself a credible source to discuss any trending topics. I’m not interested in discussing my political opinions, shopping habits, or my job that I’m totally unqualified for. What I really want, is silence.

The moment after my last final of spring semester, I decided, I wanted to dedicate this summer to meditation. For approximately one second I was still, and it was amazing. I wish I could have that moment again. With my new job, I am constantly on the go. I’m surrounded by boisterous extroverts for forty hours a week; I only crave just a minute of silence.

Naturally, I decided to manufacture an opportunity to completely dedicate myself once a week to silence. I decided to explore silence as a holistic topic. I want to learn about silence from philosophers, poets, and authors. I’m curious about the powers and weaknesses of silence in movies, music, and communication.

In such a hectic and noisy world, I believe everyone craves a little silence.
