Funny But that's my Peace of Mind for Now.

Peace of mind is a mental state characterized by calmness, tranquility, and freedom from worry or anxiety. It is one of those things we often underestimate. But I keep telling people that I can go to any length or do anything to get and maintain my peace of mind. Without it, no matter how rich you are or what you eat, the positive effects may not reflect in your body because your mind is not at rest.

Different people have different things that give them peace of mind. Let me share mine. It might sound weird or funny, but I’ll still share it.

I remember my very first relationship. It was sweet, exciting, and filled with love. But the funny part is, whenever I had a little misunderstanding with the lady, I would get so disturbed that it would distract me completely. I couldn’t concentrate or even read. My peace of mind was tampered with.

Another relationship I had also taught me how to value peace of mind. One funny thing about being in a relationship is that you constantly wonder if you’ve done something wrong whenever your partner starts acting strange.

Normally, if you call a friend once and they don’t pick up, you may not be too bothered. But if you call someone you’re in a relationship with and they don’t answer, your mind will begin to race, especially if you’ve had a small argument. You start imagining all sorts of things. The thought that they might be cheating is another thing that can seriously disturb your peace of mind.

Another phase of relationships that can shake one’s peace of mind is the period of a breakup, popularly referred to as "serving breakfast." If you’ve experienced it before, you’ll understand what I mean. I remember when it happened to me. I was so destabilized at work that I couldn’t concentrate. During the lunch break, white soup, one of my favorite meals, was served, but I had no appetite to eat it.

Since then, I decided to take a break from anything related to relationships for the sake of my sanity. And to a large extent, I can say I now enjoy good peace of mind in that area. I come back home after work peacefully, eat in peace, go out and return without stress, and sleep like a baby without thinking about who’s cheating or not cheating on me. No unnecessary drama. I know this might sound weird, but that’s just it.

I also know that someday I’ll go back into the relationship game again, but for now, I just want to keep my mind at rest.
