Friend.
I did not know
a house could be this quiet.
When they are here
you do not hear it.
The small sounds.
The footsteps.
The voice from another room.
You never notice
you are being kept company.
And then they are gone.
And the silence
is the first thing
you feel
when you wake up.
It is the last thing
you feel
when you go to bed.
It sits at the table with you.
It follows you
from room to room.
I used to think silence
was peaceful.
Now I know
it can be the heaviest sound
in the world.
I do not have
anything wise to say about it.
I just wanted you to know
that if it feels that loud
for you too
you are not imagining it.

He has a newsletter on beehiiv. So do Codie Sanchez, Jay Shetty, David Begnaud, Colin & Samir, and Joanna Stern.
They could publish just about anywhere. They chose beehiiv to build a direct connection with the people who want to hear from them most. And you can do the same, whether you’re world-famous or just at the start of your plan for world domination.
