What Writing is teaching me about the silence between words?

Writing was never an easy task for me from the starting only. I started with hesitation, but it has given me confidence to avoid it. While writing, I prefer silence over chaos just like others. But there is always chaos going on in my mind during those silent hours.
I understood one thing clearly in the beginning: it would never be easy to get rid of chaotic thoughts. But slowing them down is in my control. Giving them words is in my control.
I remember an incident in which I realised how pause works as relief while giving words to emotions. I was writing my blog as usual around eleven at night. At that time, I was committed to write before twelve midnight. I was writing my thoughts on my device. Nervousness on my face, heartbeat fast, and a question: would I be able to complete it before time?
The question and situation didn’t let me stop, and I wrote my blog in a hurry without pauses and published it. I completed it within time and was happy; nervousness changed to a smile on my face. But at what cost, I realised later on.
While rereading my blog, I found several grammatical mistakes. The root problem I found was overwriting. At that time, I understood how silence and pauses are necessary to share anything. Pauses don’t mean emptiness, but they help to write with depth. From then on, I have been writing blogs taking my time, no more commitments.
Time gaps while writing help my emotions to breathe. It doesn’t mean I disgrace my views. But I require some time to give them words. Flowers should be chosen so wisely so that the garland looks beautiful. So my words define my emotions in the blog. I try to share them with full honesty.
Silence may feel like weakness, but it is ultimate strength every time.
