Choosing Peace Over Pain

She used to chase peace in people who only brought her pain. Every time she tried

to fix things, she ended up breaking herself instead. She kept hoping they’d see her worth,

but they were too busy feeding their own emptiness. One morning, she woke up different.

Not angry. Not bitter. Just done. She didn’t shout. She didn’t explain.

She just stood up, and walked away. And as she walked, she felt something she hadn’t felt

in a long time — peace. Not the kind you beg for, but the kind that

comes when you finally stop fighting for what drains you. She learned that walking away isn’t

weakness. It’s wisdom. It’s choosing yourself. Now her smile is softer.
