As Iāve gotten older, one of the most important lessons Iāve learned is this: protecting my peace is non-negotiable.
I donāt do drama. I donāt entertain negativity. I donāt carry things through the day that donāt need to stay with me. Thatās not how I choose to live anymore. While life is far from perfect, especially when unexpected things come up, I refuse to let one moment of difficulty steal the rest of my day.
Letās be real no day is completely perfect or totally positive. Thatās just not reality. We all experience ups and downs, and pretending otherwise is just setting yourself up for disappointment. But how we respond to those moments? Thatās on us. Thatās where our power is.
Iāve created strong boundaries, and I stand firm in them not because Iām cold or closed off, but because peace matters. My energy is valuable, and I no longer give it to things or people that drain me.
Iām not the same person I was years ago, and thatās something Iām proud of. Growth is a choice, and itās not always easy. Itās something you have to show up for, day in and day out.
So here I am, continuing to choose peace, continuing to grow, and continuing to build a life that feels aligned with who I truly am.
Wishing you all a peaceful and grounded day š
With love,
Trish
