Paminsan-minsan, kailangan nating dumaan sa iilang pagsubok upang maging masaya. Dahil kung lahat ng bagay sa mundo ay pwedeng makamit ng hindi natin pinaghihirapan, hapiness becomes trivial.

Just… peace.” Billie took a sip of wine before answering. “I used to think peace meant silence. No chaos, no ghosts.

“Ako ‘to. Ako si Joaquin. I gave you everything. Do you think mahahanap mo lahat ng ‘yun sa iba?” “Hindi ko kailangan ng ‘lahat ng ‘yun’ kung kapalit naman ay peace of mind,” sagot niya, diretso ang mga mata. “Kapag wala nang feelings, it’s only natural to let go.” Walang kahit anong pag-aalinlangan sa boses niya.

“You look happy.” “Baka gutom lang,” biro ko. “Hindi. Totoo. You’re smiling like you finally found peace.” Napatingin ako sa labas. Sa malawak na tanawin ng lawa, may mga ibong lumilipad, may mga dahong sumasayaw sa hangin. “Siguro kasi wala tayong hinahabol ngayon. Wala ring humahabol sa atin.” “Then let’s make it last,” sabi niya. “Even just for today.”

Kasi kung lahat, baka kulang ang isang araw.” Napayuko si Ethan, nanginginig ang mga daliri. “Alam ko. At hindi ko rin alam kung karapat-dapat pa akong pakinggan. Pero mula nang umalis ka, hindi na ako naging mapayapa.” Tumayo si Mia, lumapit sa bintana. “Peace is something you give yourself, Ethan. No one can give that to you not even me.”

"Hindi naman kasi ako nagmamadali. Kung may dumating, edi good. Kung wala, edi mas okay. Mas marami pa akong kailangang unahin." Napangiti ako. "Tama. Love can wait, 'ika nga. Pero aminin mo, minsan, nami-miss mo rin 'yung may someone na mag-aalaga sa'yo." Napatawa siya, tila natamaan. "Baliw! Minsan lang." Umiling siya, pero alam kong may katotohanan sa sinabi ko.

It doesn't need to be blinding to be significant; it has its own spotlight, a gentle glow that guides people when the world goes quiet. I realized then that maybe I didn’t need to be the sun. I didn't need to be the loudest or the brightest person in the room to have value. Like the moon, I could find peace in my own phases, shining with a light that is uniquely mine, even in the middle of my darkest night.

Discipline is required to focus on what we can control, and worrying about the result is a waste of energy. Finding peace is about being still, calming your mind, and being content in the quiet. We all tend to react off emotions—that's normal and human—but when life becomes challenging, take a few deep breaths and stop for a moment. You will see that a situation looks much different when you come from a place of quiet. Every day is a day that culminates in us walking towards our truest selves or away from it. Every day is either choosing peace or having some dust accumulate on your chest. Every day, we feel a certain way.
