Is Silence Golden, or Convenient?
My Take: Golden in theory ā Convenient in practice.
Silence can be powerful. It can be graceful. It can also be manipulative, evasive, or just plain lazy.
Letās not confuse āmaturityā with conflict avoidance wrapped in a soft-focus quote.
Because sometimes? The last word is necessary.
Sometimes itās how you hold your boundary.
Sometimes itās how you stop the gaslighting.
And sometimes itās just you being clear, calm, and done.
We all know people who weaponize silence and call it virtue. They disappear, say nothing, and then act like thatās the high road. Newsflash: the high road has Wi-Fi and accountability.
So yesāknow when to be silent. But also know when to speak up. When to end the conversation with intention, not ego.
And if that just so happens to be the last word?
Own it. Say it well. Then walk away with your head high and your dignity intact.
