Peace

What do you do to find peace? And what is peace?

For me, peace is not caring about the thoughts of other people, particularly the ones that pertain to me. Peace is not having to put up the character that I call myself, but being allowed to act as I want to, not how I want my character to be seen. Peace is finding that the things that trouble me no longer trouble me, and I can be content to sit and be.

I wish I could always feel this way, but I'm certain that when I wake up, I'll be wearing my old rags, the thrill of this royal ball called peace that I'm at right now will be gone, and the character will be resurrected and put on display. At least now, I know what my glass slipper is, and how I can get it whenever I need to.
