Finding your calm

I have been trying to find calm for longer than I can remember. After I got sick in early 2025 and diagnosed with Gastroparesis, I have been in a tornado of a world. I have learned what brings me peace and what disrupts it. I have learned to disassociate with life and plug into another world when reading. I have been my knees praying and talking to God. I have listened to the silence and quieted the noise around me. I have learned to treasure the small joys around me and let go of what doesn’t. Sometimes it’s important to remember to take time and find your calm.

Survivor

I am a survivor.

You are a survivor.

Not because you were courageous.

Not because you broke down mountains.

But because you fought an internally war.

The war in your heart

The war in your soul.

The war in your head.

The quiet wars you fight daily.

Wars you won without anyone else knowing.

The wars you won because you aligned your own stars.
