There are seasons in a person’s life when even beauty becomes unbearable.
For me, music was once that kind of beauty — too powerful, too tender, too true. After heartbreak carved its quiet ache into the deepest parts of me, I found I couldn’t bear to listen anymore. Not to anything. Not even the soft songs.
Some music still lingers behind a closed door in my soul — one I’m not ready to open. Now and then, a line drifts through the distance — Did you say she was pretty? Did you say she loved you? — and I have to turn my face away. Because I don’t want to know. Some truths never bring peace, and it’s a quiet kind of torment to try and make sense of what was never meant to be understood.
So for a long time, I lived in silence. Not the peaceful kind, but the kind that holds you still so you don’t shatter. I didn’t reach for melody. I didn’t invite harmony. I didn’t make space for the risk of remembering.
I just moved through the motions — quietly, carefully, surviving one day at a time.
And then, without searching, a song found me. It came gently, like a breeze through a window I didn’t know I’d left cracked open.
It wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t bold. It was humble — a song about small gestures and everyday love. About rain and apples, warm meals and steady presence. About the kind of devotion that doesn’t need to be loud to be true. And for the first time in three years, I didn’t turn it off.
I let it in.
That moment didn’t feel like an explosion or a breakthrough. It felt like breath. It felt like Spirit saying, “You’re safe now. You can feel again. Just a little.”
And I did.
Not all at once. Not recklessly. Just enough to remember that I have always believed in a love that is real — a love that doesn’t perform, doesn’t disappear, and doesn’t need to be explained.
A love that makes the coffee, wipes down the counters, folds the blanket at the foot of the bed. That kind of love still exists. That kind of love is sacred.
If you’re in a quiet season — one where even music feels too loud — I want to gently say: There’s no shame in silence. There’s nothing wrong with needing time. You haven’t missed your moment. You’re not behind. You’re not broken.
Your soul knows what it’s doing.
And one day, when it’s ready, a song will find its way through the stillness. It may not look like much from the outside. But inside, you’ll know — something just shifted. And that shift will carry you back to yourself, one note at a time.
🌒 The darkness is not a grave. It is a womb. A place of quiet transformation. A sacred space where healing is conceived before it ever becomes light. When the song finally finds you, it is not the end of your grief — it is the beginning of your return.
Let it in. Let it awaken you. Even if only for a moment.
This journey through silence has reminded me that even in the absence of sound, Spirit is still singing. The song may be quiet, the healing slow, but it is always unfolding — faithfully, gently, and in divine timing. If my heart can find its way back to music, so can yours.
Onwards and upwards,
