Finding Peace

We keep chasing peace
as if it’s hiding in aesthetic spaces,
polished books,
or a wellness podcast.

But peace isn’t always found
in the absence of chaos.

Sometimes, it’s born in the heart of it.
In the courage of those who keep living fully,
in the fleeting moments between the bombs
that threaten everything their identity was tied to.

Peace isn’t something you collect or display.
It’s something you carry.
It’s in the way you breathe through fear,
It’s in the quiet choices to show up for yourself and others,
especially when the world is loud and unkind.

Stop searching for peace outside yourself.
Learn to hold it steady,
even in the storm.
Let it be your anchor,
your inner refuge,
your quiet defiance.

Trust yourself.
Trust that the calm you seek
is already within you,
waiting to be noticed,
calling you home.
