🌿 In My Season of Calm

Learning to Let Go, Flow, and Choose Peace

There comes a point in life where you stop chasing, stop controlling, and simply start flowing. I am at that point now. I call it my season of calm.

After years of trying to fix what wasn’t mine to fix, of worrying about things I could not control, and carrying burdens that weren’t mine to carry, I have finally learned to release. I pray, I breathe, I surrender—and I let things go.

Letting Go of What Is Not Meant for Me

Letting go does not mean I do not care. It means I care enough about my peace to stop clinging to what hurts me, confuses me, or drains me. I have finally come to understand:

ā€œWhat is meant for me will never miss me, and what misses me was never meant for me.ā€

It’s a beautiful and liberating truth. I don’t fight the current anymore. I release, and I trust the process.

ā€œNot My Monkeys. Not My Circus.ā€

This little saying has become my personal mantra. Every time someone tries to drag me into their drama, every time chaos
comes knocking—I whisper it:
ā€œNot my monkeys. Not my circus.ā€ And instantly, I’m reminded that I don’t have to attend every argument I’m invited to, or solve every problem placed before me.

No More Drama, No More Shenanigans

I’ve drawn a firm line between what I can handle and what I should no longer tolerate. I refuse to let the emotional clutter of others derail my peace. I am not interested in being anyone’s emotional punching bag, fixer, or drama sponge.

This is not selfishness.
It is self-love.
It is wisdom earned through experience, heartbreak, disappointment, and growth.

Choosing Peace and Happiness

These days, I choose peace like it’s my full-time job. I protect my space. I protect my energy. I protect my joy.

ā€œPeace is not the absence of chaos, but the presence of clarity and the ability to say, ā€˜I will not let this disrupt me.ā€™ā€

I wake up every day with a prayer in my heart and gratitude on my lips. I no longer wish for more things—I wish for more peace, more simplicity, and more authentic joy.

šŸ’— A Closing Affirmation:

I release what I cannot control. I let go of what is not mine. I embrace peace. This is my season of calm.
