"Peace is being okay with things even when they’re not okay—including yourself when you’re wrong."

This line - perfect. Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate your post, it ignites a lot of self reflection and I agree there’s peace in conflict! It helps us understand ourselves and others better … and in a way prevents isolation from others.

Im new to substack and focus on parenting insights, would like to connect with you 😃

Welcome! After I had my daughter, that first year was so hard. My husband suggested I start writing again, which led me to starting my Substack. Truly one of the best decisions I made as a new mom.

This community is amazing. 🤍

You've hit the nail on the head here. Everyone is so touchy these days that conversations have to skirt any real issues--whether they be political or personal. People seem to find it so much easier to disengage than to honestly hash out differences--which is where real peace comes from: from feeling understood and trying to give the same to others.

Amen! You’re right, that is exactly how it feels! It’s been on my mind lately and that’s why I had to share my thoughts. 💭
