It might not sound like much, but, personally, it would be quiet.
Today reminds me of why I yearn for quiet so much...
I was about four at the time, we had this neighbor across the road who would always go outside and garden. He was a jolly old man. That was, until one day, when he was not outside. Same with the next. One day became five and by that time the police showed up. Dead, from alcohol poisoning. He left a note too just before his death. I never knew what it said, but presumably it was suicide. Considering who he was externally, it was hard to believe it.
I use the silence to think about those who I knew, but are no longer around. Unfortunately, this has been too many.
It has been almost two years ago since my last friend committed suicide too. We met because we were both web devs at the time and despite being halfway across the world, we were very close. I miss him, as friends have always been difficult for someone like me.
Quiet gives me solace for it makes those I knew seem all the more closer.
So I ask the rest of you anons, as I have asserted in the title, what brings you solace?
