We’ve gotten really good at dressing up dysfunction in affirmations and aromatherapy. These days, “protecting my peace” often looks a lot like dodging accountability. We ghost instead of grow. We block instead of build. We call it healing, but really—we’re just hiding.
Let’s be honest: comfort is the new hustle. We chase it like it’s the prize, when really not. Comfort is easy. It’s soft and it’s seductive. But that rascal is also sneaky! It’ll have you thinking you’re okay while your soul is screaming for a reset.
We’ve confused peace with pampering. But peace isn’t a bubble bath and blackout curtains. It’s not a personal playlist or a weekend getaway. Real peace is alignment. It’s knowing your choices match your values—even when those choices cost you convenience, applause, or the company of people who liked the old you better.
Comfort says, “Stay here because it’s safe.” Peace says, “Go there because it’s right.”
We can't ghost our problems and think that they won't be there on Monday morning. Don't spend money on a day spa when you have a power bill to pay. Don't spend an evening at the bar when car insurance is due.
It's not "protecting your peace" when all you are doing is avoiding responsibility for the time being.
