Choosing Peace

 Don’t feel guilty for choosing peace over people who only bring chaos. There’s a point where you’ve got to stop apologizing for wanting a life that doesn’t constantly tear at your sanity. People will try to make you feel bad for walking away, for closing the door on their drama, but screw that. You’ve got every right to protect your peace, to choose quiet over their endless noise. It’s not selfish—it’s survival. Let them call you cold, distant, whatever makes them feel better. But at the end of the day, you’ve got to live with yourself, not with their opinions. So, choose peace, every damn time, and let the rest sort itself out. - R.M. Drake
