Finding Inner Peace

She used to think she should have but she did not Living with regrets from one side of the house to another They followed her home and built a wall around her world A friend who never held back, who lived her truth, who said what she meant Got murdered This got her to thinking that life is short So she began to say what she felt she should say She began living the life she wanted to live She turned her life around Doing and saying what felt right in her heart Not overthinking how others might take it As a consequence, she began to like herself more and others liked her better also. Inner peace was had thanks to a sad death of a friend

There's a powerful message here and sadly sometimes it takes a tragedy to bring about real change. Stay safe.

Sometimes tragedy is placed in our lives for a reason; I have grown to understand this.
