One day, you understand that you really can't change much that is happening to you or around you. You realize you can't get what you want just by praying for it. You wake up and don't complain about the shitty mentality, the stinking relationships. You don't rewind -play-repeat all the abuses you have been through.you don't recall how bad you have been to others and yourself. You no longer feel the urge to walk out the door and never come back. You get up, and do what you gotta do, no matter how small it may appear. You realize that your worth is more than any of this hurting/clinging/complaining/crying. So you choose to get up, listening/responding to that tremendously fragile thing seated in your conscious. That my friend, is peace.
