Being Quiet

"One of the risks 
of being quiet 
is that other people 
can fill your silence 
with their own interpretation: 

You’re bored. 
You’re depressed. 
You’re shy. 
You’re stuck up. 
You’re judgmental. 

When others can’t read us, 
they write their own story
—not always one we choose 
or that’s true to who we are."
