Tyler Edmonds blends into Hollywood, California.
While watching my trial play out in front of my eyes on TV this week, I can’t help but be thankful that it’s over, and that I am finally at peace with myself and my past. Peace is so hard to define. What is peace, and better yet, where do you find it?
For me, peace is pretty simple. Peace is acceptance. Accepting my past for what it was; remembering it, but not dwelling on it. Peace isn’t having all the answers or always knowing which way to go, but rather knowing how to live. I am living in the now, not in the past. Not focusing on the negatives of what the past has been, but rather focusing on the positive of what has come from it.
I now can move forward with my life, comfortable in my own skin and content with who I am. I have passed the test: I enjoy my own company, and I can look at myself in the mirror without even a glimmer of disgust with my past or myself. My past is what it is, and it can’t be changed or altered. Therefore, there is no sense in being disgusted or dwelling on it.
I am happy, and I am at peace.
