The older I get the more I realize I want one thing in my life more than anything else:

Peace.😌

Well, maybe two things because I also want horses, but you know.🐴🐴🐴

I want peace.😌

I want relationships that aren’t fragile. I want relationships that aren’t volatile. I want people in my life where the connection between us isn’t delicate—where it isn’t easily broken. Where you trust me and I trust you and things are TALKED OUT.

I want it all as comfortable as possible…like sweatpants that are worn in and cozy and allows room for growth and grace in the same way drawstrings and elastic work.

I don’t want bad with anyone. I don’t want bitterness, or anger, or awkwardness when we see each other. I can’t handle any of that “are we speaking? Are we not speaking? Are we good?"

I’m full. Motherhood is a mental workout-all day, every day-even when they are grown. Adulthood in general is pretty stressful. Bills and work and deadlines and why am I here?

I don’t want any drama. Not now. Not tomorrow. Not even in tiny doses. None. If you throw it my way, I hate to disappoint you, but I will not even attempt to catch it, anymore.

I don’t want chaos, or turmoil, or any of that. I don’t want gossip. I don’t want to hear secrets that may or may not even be true. I mean…I’ll keep your secrets for sure, but I’m just going to extend compassion and assume everybody is doing the best they possibly can.♥️

And I’m good on spirits. I don’t need any. I prefer that fizzy, flavored water stuff with my favorite adaptogens, anyway.

I want peace.😌

And I’ve learned that it’s not really about keeping the peace. It’s about creating peace and choosing to stay out of the chaos.

It’s about confronting things head-on. It’s about asking good questions. It’s about listening. It’s about keeping my ridiculous knee-jerk reactions to myself. It’s about refusing to brush the difficult stuff under the rug and pretend it doesn’t exist until that rug becomes a mountain in-between me and you. It’s about TALKING things out and approaching every situation with kindness first.♥️

It’s about apologizing and following through with changed behavior, action, and thoughts.

It’s about maturity-mental and spiritual.

It’s about boundaries and knowing that even when I give my best, not everyone will appreciate it, want it, or like it.

It’s about loving them and letting them go from there.

I know I’m a mess sometimes and I’m insecure and prideful and I make so many mistakes. I’m
So imperfect. I just…

I want peace.😌

I want it to ooze out of me. I want it in me. I want it on me. I want it around me. I want it to come through me.

No matter what anyone else is doing.

I want peace.😌

And horses and stuff, obviously.

Love,
Karri
