Inner peace

I'm slowly learning that even if I react, it won't change anything, it won't make people suddenly love and respect me, it won't magically change their minds. Sometimes it's better to just let things be, let people go, don't fight for closure, don't ask for explanations, don't chase answers and don't expect people to understand where you're coming from. I'm slowly learning that life is better lived when you don't center it on what's happening around you and center it on what's happening inside you instead. Work on yourself and your inner peace.

Preface to this:  There are safe relationships where it is so important and totally worth it to go into the mess together and work through it. We will come out stronger and healthier.

And then there are unsafe relationships where it can be harmful to engage at all.

Learning to recognize which are which is the key.
