'Morning Sun' (1952), Edward Hopper

The sound of silence is the first thing that I noticed when I arrived in Groningen.

It is calming yet frightening at the same time.

I like how it makes everything sounds clearer, even the mind.

But I hate how it makes me feel uncomfortable,

knowing the fact that there is nothing but silence.

Melancholy and silence always appealing to me.

Both of it are not always comes at the same time,

but both of it are a complementary for each other.

It makes me ponders and gives some alone time with my mind.

I am both comfortable and uncomfortable with silence.

One day, silence is what I needed the most.

Another day, silence is what I despised the most.

One day, silence is what calms me down.

Another day, silence is what drags me down.
