Inner thoughts 1 day ago

Inner thoughts. My life, family, friends, school and relationships. They have all been getting worse and worse. Its because I don’t have condifence in myself. I am taking a vow of silence for a week. This will help me with those Inner thoughts. I feel that taking a VOS will help me or anyone think about what they want and who they really are. Without speech comes thought, with thought comes success.



Monday, oh God. 1 month ago

I plan to take a vow of silence Monday, and not stop until Monday of the next week. The reason i’m doing this, i’m still unknown to. Some part of it is because nobody listens to me, and another part is because I really just want to see how the world is without my voice. I speak WAY too much, and everything. I want to try to be reserved for a week.
Later, i’m going to discuss it with my father, and have him a right a note that i’ll just carry around that explains i’m taking a vow of silence. I’m going to limit myself to hand gestures only.



A vow of silence 5 months ago

This needs to happen more than ever. I need to completely cut off and eliminate certain aspects in my life so that I can see the things surrounding me. I already have a very hightened sense of things around me, but it’s not the same. I’m a medium-high chatty person, but I get this from being a Gemini (and i’m sure other life aspects). I talk and talk and talk (neither uncontrollably, nor in an annoying matter), PLUS my job here at Walt Disney World is all based on TALKING! I perform shows with scripts that range up to 21 pages long. It’s exhausting, to say the least.

Imagine this…

No internet, no cell phone, no talking…

...I can’t wait.



Day 1 6 months ago

Yesterday I started ny vow of scilence. Today will be harder, because I am going to be surrounded by friends and teachers. I’m not going to tell them what I am doing in case it doesn’t work out. Lets see how long I last!

i want to be silent 8 months ago

In my life i have never really had silence, and i have never been one with my thoughts, so i want to take a vow of silence for a month this summer, i’ve only gotten support from two people in my life, while everyone else thinks it silly. But it feels like a calling though, i’m trying to find a monastery or nunnery where i can go and just be in silence, i really want this to happen.

I have decided that i shall take a vow of silence after my holidays, for apparently this is a selfish thing to do, and my grandparents would hate it. So exactly 5 days before school starts i am to take a vow of silence.

My reasons for takeing this vow, is to try to descover myself, become a better person, try to look at life in different ways, to conserntrate on school more, and to learn to appreciate life.

I hope that i cann acheive this, and i shall keep you up-dated :)

I am taking a vow of silence until I get into university, a way to get me working more, and talking less.
