Most of us don’t like silence, because it forces us to confront ourselves. And sometimes what we find staring back is emptiness. We’re also afraid of silence, because we equate silence with insignificance. We want to be heard and seen. We want to make ourselves relevant. We want tobe somebody in the eyes of others.

Ripping the paper up and throwing it in the garbage is also a way of letting go. Have a candid conversation with someone you trust. Do work that’s import to you. Even if you can only do it on the side. Get involved in something that’s important to you or create something that’s important to you. Th...
