pov: you prayed for peace

you prayed for peace. and then suddenly you couldn’t unsee what was disrupting it.

the relationship that keeps you anxious.
the habit that numbs you then punishes you.
the pattern of overgiving until you resent everyone.
the “i’ll deal with it later” that is quietly draining your life.

and honestly, this is the mercy.
peace starts by exposing the things you’ve been calling normal.

so if your life feels like it’s being rearranged, try not to panic.
ask: what is being removed that i secretly begged to be free from?

not everything that leaves is punishment.
some things leaving is protection.
some things ending is alignment.

peace is not always gentle at the beginning.
sometimes it comes in with a broom.
