Rough week

Makes me feel nostalgic for a time of less stress

Did I have a time?

Really?

No

Not really I guess

There were times of boredom maybe

But never really less stress

Life is stressful

Or it really can be

So I'm learning

Or trying to  master inner peace within myself

To counteract that strong pull

That seems to come from outside forces

Making me waver and get agitated

But I think

If i looks closely

I can see

And sense

That really

It's just me letting myself be carried away by my emotions

And that I don't need to respond to outside forces

In any one particular way

Or at all even

And this

 in and of itself

Provides a great amount of peace

If I let it

But of course

That's one of those

So much easier said than done things
