peace
There comes a point in your life when you make peace with the realities of your existence. You just stop being bitter and you embrace the reality of things and events. Afterall, they happened for a purpose.
I am at peace now with my past, with the failed expectations and the disappointments.
I am at peace now with my own frustrations, with the things I failed to do, the chances I missed, the opportunities I allowed to pass, the person I tried to be but couldn’t.
I am at peace now with the people in that past – the people who were the reasons for those tears, the self-pity, the laughter, the joy, the frustrations.
I am at peace now with the things I couldn’t have. I have learned to accept the fact that I couldn’t have everything in this life (no matter how hard I work to get it). I couldn’t force people to accept me, like me, or much more, love me.
And I am at peace now with the reality that what is meant to be is meant to be. Perhaps there is a perfect timing, a perfect moment for things to fall into place and a perfect lifetime for everything.
So perhaps, I’ll see you in our next lifetime. And hopefully by then, fate is kinder. For now, let’s be at peace with our destiny.
