Serenity

I am finding that serenity is not perfect peace. It is facing the storm and realizing that you cannot control it; that you can only ride it out. It is facing life and beginning to KNOW which things you can do something about and those you cannot. It is also knowing that sometimes you MUST do something. Doing your best, and then letting things happen the way they will. It does not mean that you only feel peace. It means that you accept what feelings you have for what they are, experience them and then let them go at their own pace. Trying to force them along more quickly is not an option. It is also knowing that some things will change us forever, and that is okay. Accept yourself for who you are now, but act according to your character and convictions. There you will find serenity. <3 Mishka
