The world still turns
with the same noise it always had—
voices arguing,
storms forming somewhere
beyond the horizon.
But I no longer live
inside that noise.
I stand on steadier ground now.
A place where thoughts
move slowly enough to understand them,
where emotions
no longer run wild
without direction.
It took time
to build this quiet place.
Time, patience,
and the courage
to face the parts of myself
that once felt impossible to hold.
Now when the wind rises
I do not run from it.
I stand still,
breathe deeply,
and remember
I am stronger
when I choose balance
over chaos.

Finding strength in stability and learning to stay grounded.
