I used to think peace was something I’d find when life finally calmed down.

But peace never came.

There was always something—more things to do, more responsibilities, more stress, more emotions to battle. My mind never stopped running. I overanalyzed everything, replayed conversations in my head, and lived in a cycle of fear, shame, and regret. Even when nothing major was happening, my thoughts kept me restless.

Maybe you know the feeling.
