You know how when we’re younger, we feel the need to prove ourselves?
We’re conditioned to think that progress looks like noise. Big wins. Public announcements. Fast results. To say the right things, speak up in every room, and make sure you’re seen.
But the older you get, the more you realize that… Silence isn’t awkward.
But rather, it’s actually peaceful. That’s when you start choosing your words more carefully. You stop explaining yourself all the time, and you learn that it’s okay to sit things out.
Samandar Odhni is a reminder that real growth often happens in quiet corners. Away from any applause, away from eyes. Not by being louder, or trying harder. But rather just becoming more sure of who you are quietly, confidently.
