Peace Has Become More Noticeable to Me

Dear Delyara, One of my smallest, strangest victories is that I can feel peace now when it arrives. There was a time when I could not. I was too anxious, too vigilant, too used to internal noise. Quiet moments slipped past me because I did not trust them enough to inhabit them. Now I notice them. A silent kitchen. A cup in my hand. No one asking anything of me. No urgency. No explanation. Just a few minutes where my life feels still in a good way. That kind of moment used to feel invisible. Now it feels precious.
