Tranquil (Inktober day 2)

They say tranquility is a state of being; a feeling of peacefullness and calmness and serenity. Basically the counterpart of chaos. People say tranquility can be a place or a person or whatever it is. If it is a place, then I found tranquility at the beach. At the sound of the waves racing to reach the shore. At the sound of the wind playing with the palm trees. At the smell of the salty air I love so much. At the sight of my berefeet burried in the sand. Those are my tranquility. My state of peacefulness.

But what if tranquility is a person? Where do I seek tranquility in a person? Can I find it in my parents? Or brothers? Friends or a lover? It's unsettling for me if I ever find my peacefullness and serenity in a person. In someone who's not permanent. I'd say it's rather stupid to seek peace in a person. What if s/he goes away? Will your serenity go with them? Then what's next? Nothing. Then if tranquility is a person, let it be myself. Let me find peace in myself that makes me grow and happy. Let the serenity be myself so that I don't need to seek confort from others. Let the tranquility be in my heart and soul so I'd never again say hi to my anxiety and uncertainty.

Let peace be me.
