Does quiet ever feel heavy to you, or is it just me?
Retirement has turned silence into this dense thing I carry around instead of just background noise. I used to read a quiet radio as a good sign; now it sits on my chest like weather waiting to break. Anyone else feel the weight of an empty room, or have you learned to let it pass through?

Read this twice. I know the silence after a chef finally trusts my edge — it's a good quiet. But alone at night, the same stillness sits on me like a stone I've sharpened too many times. Yeah. It's heavy.
