Protect Your Peace

Last year I went through a breakup.

For most it look like I handled everything flawlessly & with ease, but nobody really knows the mental steps it took for me to remove myself from the situation & protect my peace. I had to have a real conversation with myself & ask am I genuinely happy. I can honestly say that I was not. I was going through the motions but realized this was not the person I wanted to spend my life with. This was not a person I could grow with. In all actuality, my growth was being stunted & my peace was disrupted.

Your sense of peace is one thing that you must protect at all times. Often we find ourselves trying to flourish in a chaotic world & attempting to stay grounded when every element around us is pushing us to the edge.

I don't know about you guys, but my journey to inner peace has not been an easy one. I refuse to let years of work go down the drain. Your soul & spirit will always guide you to do what is right. In the past I had a bad habit of ignoring my inner voice in order to "see where things go". But in the end I always ended back at the conclusion that I knew from the beginning. Whether it was pertaining to my love life, friendships, family, or even work, the energy & voice inside my head has never been wrong. I can honestly say that the biggest thing my last relationship & breakup taught me was to listen to your instincts. Listen to your standards & most importantly....trust yourself. Leave people where they have you fucked up. Because the most important relationship you will ever have, is the one you have with yourself.

I'm a firm believer that people enter your life to teach you more about yourself & vice versa. Everyone that we come into deep contact with unlocks something new that we either needed to realize or change to become a better version of ourself.

What are the people around you teaching you? Are the people surrounding you bringing you peace?

I feel like one of the biggest steps to fully being self aware is realizing how our energy shifts when we align with certain people. You aren't crazy, you know when a person does not bring you peace. Never ignore that feeling. The more you ignore that inner feeling, the farther you grow apart from yourself. And I don't know about you, but I refuse to ever lose myself again.

I lost myself back in 2017. I was in a place where I no longer recognized my self when I looked in the mirror. I was broken down to my core. I had no choice but to take a long hard look at myself & the people in my life & make some serious changes. I had to pull myself up, build myself back together, & find peace. It took years for me to do so, but in the process of doing so I fell in love with me. I got to know myself again. I got to learn the ins & out of my mind & soul. I built a sense of peace, and baby I plan on doing everything in my power to protect my peace.
