Remain silent.
The fear of keeping silent is being misinterpreted as 'mysterious' or 'enigmatic'. Or even 'eccentric', which is a bullshit word; probably the biggest one in the dictionary. 'Eccentric' is nothing more than a word that boring people use to describe someone who is interesting.
Michelangelo was once described as such because for four months he spent the better half of his day staring at a block of marble. The only time he broke his silence was to inform an inquirer that he was 'working'. Of course, this seemed very odd, and therefore the master was pegged as 'eccentric'. Three years later that 18 foot block of marble was the Statue of David.
To be 'childlike' in this quality is to break free from the cocoon of convention in which most try to remain for as long as humanly possible. It is not to forestall development. Rather, it is a process in which to continue developing amongst the ones who've chosen to stunt their growth at the nape. To remain 'childlike' is to maintain the clarity and ruthlessness of your vision. The only thing 'enigmatic' or 'mysterious' is time and the way it continues to change while ultimately staying the same.
You can't be cocky during a time that forces you to be humble. To display such aforementioned ignorance is to assume yourself to be the center of the universe instead of trying to be one part of it for the greater good. That's how wars come about, both personal and literal. Open your eyes before someone takes your place, bears your cross and thereby robs you of your crown. Let the mask slip and try to resist the urge to catch without arms.
The number one danger of regressing to a hollow relationship is shielding you from yourself. Once you do, a formerly beautiful thing becomes the most painful because you will fail to hear it or see it. Again, time will have changed but ultimately stayed the same. Therein lies the mystery and how time has a way of humbling us. Simply severing all the hindrance is childlike in nature and connects us to that time where the vision of our lives meant self-sacrifice at any and all costs.
I'm not preaching at the moment, but I am calling for you to wake up. The angels you call upon reside in the darkest recesses of your mind, and your #1 job is digging by way of opening your mind and setting them free. Enjoy the silence no matter the cost. To generalize is to be an idiot because those who maintain a general knowledge are well trained to follow the norm.
If you're reading this and interpreting it as 'mysterious', then there's nothing left I can do for you, and I can't pull everybody through. In my father's house are many rooms, and I am going to prepare a place for you. When all is ready, I will come and find you.
