When we are silent, we are choosing to be quiet on things that matter to us and spaces where we find ourselves in.  Its an inside-out movement since we make a decision to not verbalise our views and opinions or not show our support or lack thereof of something.

Whereas being silenced is when someone informs or direct us to be quiet and not raise a voice or an opinion on something that we truly care about.  It can also be an instance where certain structures are in place that forces us to be quiet, to not stand up for something nor support a course that we truly care about.

So whether its in relationships with our spouses/partners, friends, family or work; are we choosing to be silent or are we being silenced?

Happy listening
