This might sound ridiculous but I'm considering not speaking anymore.

I remember 8 years ago I lost my voice from a cold and still had to show up to work. Not speaking to people was somehow really therapeutic for me. I don't know why but I felt extremely calm in those few days.

Right now, I haven't been to work for two days because of a COVID exposure. And well, I'm thinking about showing up again and just not talking. No one will know why I don't talk and no one has to. I just won't.
