sometimes.

sometimes we convince ourselves that people have always had bad intentions because it’s easier to blame them than accept that we can’t explain everything that happens. sometimes we can’t help how we feel and sometimes life just happens. sometimes it’s part of a bigger plan, that we might not ever understand. or maybe we will. or maybe it won’t matter after a while. 

the thing is, sometimes all we need to be at peace is to trust God. and if you don’t believe in God, then trust that you at least have a say, you have a choice in how you react to life. you can either dwell in your darkness or you can recognize that there is always a lesson to be learned, or that your loss might mean someone else’s happiness, or that doors close because there are doors that lead to greater things for you.

i am at peace because i know that everyone fights their own battles, everyone is trying to make their way in this difficult world. and we do what we can to survive.

to know that someone has survived, is enough.
