Today I feel calm. I feel collected. I feel at peace with myself.

After my session with my psychologist yesterday, something has shifted inside me. For the first time in a long time, I am not at war with myself. I’m not questioning my worth, or doubting my path. Instead, I feel aligned, centered, and steady.

The past taught me how to live in survival mode—always bracing, always tense, always on alert. But healing teaches me how to breathe again. How to slow down. How to simply be.

I realize now that peace doesn’t come from everything outside me being perfect—it comes from learning to trust myself on the inside. It comes from forgiving the past, letting go of what I can’t change, and choosing to move forward with clarity and hope.

And right now, in this moment, I am exactly where I need to be.
