el silencio es golden

when you host a party and everyone leaves and then the quiet sweeps over. and when you leave your cell phone on all-alerts-off mode for a few weeks. and when you're in a big group and suddenly you remember that in a few hours you'll be alone again and be able to think in peace. and when you live in manhattan and you go to your parent's house in connecticut for a few days and you don't hear constant noise for the first time in a while.
