Life becomes peaceful when you understand that your feelings belong to you, not to anyone else. People may hurt you, disappoint you, or leave you, but how long you stay affected is your choice. The moment you stop expecting others to handle your emotions, you start gaining control over your peace. In relationships, this truth saves you from a lot of pain. Because when your happiness depends only on others, you lose yourself. But when it comes from within, no one can take it away.
