We’ve been quiet for a while, I know. We are still going through a moment of silence, sort of. This has happened before and something tells me I will be able to “speak up” again… but still a part of me wonders….
You see… that in “real life” I don’t speak… but I do write and that is how I communicate with “3D people” either through my computer screen or through a pencil and paper… so writing is my voice to the world…
I have many people sending me messages through ICQ, MSN AIM or YIM everyday… but lately the conversations I have on there are very short…. it scares me sort of because that is how it was for me in “real life” too… Even with my closest friends the chats turn out as hi… how are you…. i’m ok… glad you’re ok… and then there is silence…. or I may reply to questions the other person asks me and then become silent again….
It’s not that I mean to be quiet like that… I really wish I had something to say but I can’t think of anything…. my mind is blank…
(((((((((((((((((((((((((Gab)))))))))))))))))))))) I love you bro. Don’t worry about being quiet sometimes. Its definitely ok. You know I’m quiet a lot too.

Unfortuantly, this happens alot to us also.
It can be our fault, and it can be the person at the other ends fault.
But – it’s a test of friendship. Who is still their after a period of (almost) silence and/or coldness.
Best wishes to you, and much luck.

Quiet is good sometimes, being quiet doesn’t mean we don’t care! It’s my way to re-fuel. Know that I love you!
.. is it sometimes the mind .. needs a rest .. and at other times .. there is a lot to say!
.. this is very much ok!!!!
.. btw i think to be quiet together with a friend is a wonderfully reassuring experience of friendship.
.. (online of course .. we don’t really know if the other one is still there.)
Love you lots!
Often much more is said in the silence that during the most talkative times of a meeting. Don’t worry. I like what your friend Anna said. it’s who is still there after that period of silence that makes a difference. God Bless Garbriel and crew. You are loved….
as patrick jones would say, there is eloquence in screaming
sometimes talking doesn’t help, sometimes writing does, so don’t worry if you’re not a spoken-wordy person.
i’m a really quiet person as well and people often wonder why i don’t talk very much. that’s just cos i like listening, i think, cos through listening we can learn a lot of things. also through listening to ourselves. so if your mind tells you just to listen and speak little, well, that’s the right thing to do!!! 🙂 (((((((((hugs)))))))))
And Maggie really misses chatting with you too!! I understand though…smile. I absolutely love the new design Gabriel!! BRAVO!!
Know that song by “Chicago”, the one that says “everybody needs a little time away…”. Silence is good, Gabriel.
I understand what you mean about how shallow conversations can get online. That is why I am trying to give more importance to the the relationships I have with people in the “real” world, if you know what I mean.
I find that basing a friendship on something as ephemeral as a website or an internet messenger sometimes is not the right thing to do.
Hold on to the people you have around you, Gabriel 🙂 While you can always find nice pals around the web, we always need the real contact.
Beatriz, I started to write a responce to your comment here but it became rather long and as I think that there maybe more people that understood my post the same way you did I turned my reply into an entry instead of posting it here..
