"Peace be with you." It’s a phrase I’ve come to embrace in my silent greetings and goodbyes, through arguments and disagreements, and even in moments of deep hurt and separation. Whether things work out or fall apart, whether we agree or disagree, I’ve learned to offer peace—no grudges, no resentment, no hate.
During a time when I was feeling hurt and resentful, particularly during a difficult breakup with my partner and a painful separation from my community. Slowly, instead of holding onto the pain, I chose to let go, to wish peace upon those I felt distanced from, even if we may never talk or see each other again. Offering peace became my way of healing, of moving forward without the weight of anger or bitterness.
Wearing this t-shirt is a reminder of the power of letting go and choosing peace, even in the face of conflict or separation. It’s for those who understand that true healing comes from releasing resentment and offering peace to others, regardless of the circumstances. It’s a symbol of forgiveness, compassion, and the strength it takes to wish others well, even when parting ways.
