masyado nating ginoglorify yung protecting your peace na phrase without realizing na we're avoiding things, we're not making connections. na ayaw natin ng discomfort, ayaw natin ng inconveniences, ayaw natin na naaabala tayo at feeling natin kapag ka naabala tayo eh hindi natin deserve yung energy ng taong yun. protecting your peace is not like that. di ba? dapat willing din tayo mag compromise, willing din tayo to sacrifice. kasi this generation is build of lahat dapat maging madali. sakin it's not like that at hindi siya magiging ganun. everything is built on sacrifice, on compromise, on inconveniences, on deep struggles and how you handle things. from there, protecting your peace means knowing your core, knowing who you are, knowing what makes you calm, knowing what makes you at ease at peace kahit na nasa gitna ka ng bagyo. na you control yourself, ikaw yung may control sa sarili mo kahit hindi mo control yung sitwasyon. protecting your peace means self authorship. you know what gets to be part of your life. you know what doesn't get to be part of your life.
