@jaynielea This resonated with me on multiple levels. The “fighting” to be right part instead of just letting it go - a curse from working in a technical and support oriented role where I can’t just let things go often or ever. It isn’t quite fighting but its used for lack of a better word.

I have definitely reached that glorious stage of life where my peace trumps everything else. Like, everything!!! You could be dangling logic, gossip or a “once in a lifetime”... you just have to hear this” moment, if it’s coming for my calm, I’m out! - Not negotiable.
No, I was not always like this. I used to fight for every word, every misunderstanding, every microscopic chance to prove a point or state my case… My personality was basically a sparkler, fiery and flashy, occasionally burning a few fingers along the way (including my own). But glory, it’s exhausting trying to be right all the time. Exhausting trying to “fit in”.
I reckon that at least 95% of the time, nobody actually cares… like nobody!!! People are too busy orbiting their own dramas, which, fair enough, is part of being human. But for someone who feels things deeply and reads a room before walking into it, that kind of indifference generally smacks me right in the face and you always walk away thinking, “daaamn, I just opened my chest cavity for absolutely nothing.”
It’s curious how life flips your lenses as you grow. These days, I find society a bit (like mostly, lol)... hollow!!! Conversations feel like they are built out of polystyrene, all shape but zero substance. Small talk used to feel tolerable, now it just feels like I am giving myself more mental paperwork.
And don’t even get me started on the online dramas! Watching those unfold is like seeing toddlers fight over crayons in slow motion. The ego steps up, the thumbs get twitchy, and off we go… fires blazing, keyboards smoking, and nobody actually listening, to anyone… about anything… at all!
Personally, I have embraced the divine power of the block button. One click. Silence. Peace restored. It’s bliss. Sometimes I imagine how incredible it would be if that worked in real life too. Spot a toxic ex in the supermarket? Blocked. Random gossip at the till? Invisible. You glide through the aisles in serenity, buying your groceries in peace. I would pay good money for that “life feature”, lol.
Jokes aside though, I am genuinely starting to master the art of selective deletion… trimming away the nonsense and the people who bring it, eliminating individuals who leave my energy feeling like a dirty dish cloth. And it feels... lighter!! Peaceful. Like a clean and tidy house after a long week.
I used to think walking away from those that rubbed my soul the wrong way made me cold. Now I just see it as personal clarity. Because life is already complicated enough without voluntarily stirring assh0les into your potjie!
I guess you could say that I am at a point of realising that peace does not necessarily mean silence or isolation, it just means not entertaining chaos that doesn’t deserve a seat at your table. These days I find more joy in the calm moments… in conversations that actually breathe with substance, and in knowing that I don’t owe anyone access to my energy.
The world will keep spinning, people will continue shouting into the void, and I will just keep sipping my coffee (or wine) unbothered and amused at how good it feels to finally just sit with stillness, as Lennon said… watching the wheels go round and round.
