Peace

For every human being, there is one emotional state that represents that everything in their life is going great.

For some it is satisfaction, for others it is success or surprise. For me, it is peace.

Compared to the others, peace sounds kind of boring. Something that people are used to. That seems to be the general state of everyone’s mind when they are chilling at home.

But I found out that it is not. That experiencing real peace is actually pretty rare. That it is pretty different from what people usually classify with that word.

Peace doesn’t mean having nothing other to do than lying around and watching Netflix, having nothing to think about. Peace is not having no fights, no drama or disagreements. It is not separating yourself from the world and every inhabitant.

You still got problems. You still got drama. You’re still facing scary things in your life.

But even when doing so, you’re not worrying. You’re not overthinking. You’re not concerned.

Experiencing peace in its most authentic form means being certain. Unshakable. Unwavering.

It is when your mind is really connected to your body, when you can tap into your body to know the answer to anything and don’t try to find it in your head. When you just know the answer to anything, ‘cause you can feel it.

Peace is relaxing, protective and wise. Connected to nature.

When you are at peace, you are still experiencing the emotions that make life so precious. I would say you are even more able to experience the emotions that make life worth living.

When you are at peace, you feel lighthearted.

Excited.

Cheerful.

Happy.

Peace is like a wide green forest, that seems intimidating at first, but as soon as you go in, you can feel the true sensation. The vivid inner of the forest, that’s living in a symbiotic interrelationship, being guarded by the protective shell, not fearing that anything would ever be able to destroy the perfect harmony.

‘Cause you know your harmony cannot be disturbed.

’Cause you know that there is no way someone or something could weaken you.

‘Cause you know as soon as someone comes near you, they are infected immediately by your calmness and certainty.

Encased by your strong and unyielding aura.

You know that nothing can get between you and your, by nature desired, harmony.

Never ever.
