I grew to treasure silence. But oddly enough, once I got it, I struggled to sleep without noise.<br /><br />But I still love that feeling of going underwater just to hear that sound of silence. And as much as I enjoy some white noise to sleep, I Carolina M.

Sometimes I crave silence but when I get it, I feel lonely and need some noise. I think the best silence I've ever had in my life (and I often try to recreate that time in my head) was when I put my head into the water in the Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254579268348694236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476401392603475533.post-67495450454270763892010-06-09T16:01:40.508+02:002010-06-09T16:01:40.508+02:00Hi Mason, I can't work with TV on, I don't...Hi Mason, I can't work with TV on, I don't have that much will power so I'd just be distracted by whatever is on.

However, revising book 2, I find I can't even work to Classical, silence has become everything. Perhaps it's because our house is always noisy - having 2 boys and all!!

And as rare as spotting that unicorn.<br /><br />I do listen to music while writing, cleaning etc., because I LOVE music.
