I used to think peace and relief was what came after everything had been sorted out.
After the difficult conversation. After the decision. After the uncertainty. After whatever was keeping your mind busy had finally gone away.
I don’t think that anymore.
Peace isn’t the absence of difficult things. It’s deciding they don’t get to occupy all of the space anymore.
Some things can stay unresolved. Some people may never understand you. Some questions might not get the answer you hoped for.
And life still goes on.
I’ve reached a point where I stop giving every difficult thing the best parts of me.
That is what I was thinking about when painting this landscape.
The darkness is still there, it just no longer get to take over the whole picture.
The Day I Chose Peace.
