I'm so at peace today. I'm so much more at peace than I ever have been. Look at me, I'm a wreck. On the surface, there's not a whole lot going right in my life right now. But I'm so at peace.
This pain I'm feeling? It's just pain. It's the same thing as the frustration you might feel over some burnt toast. This pain doesn't define me. It can't hurt me because it isn't me.
