It wasn't entirely evident at first but I read a quote recently that reiterated this realisation. "I can't wait to wake up one day with no heavy weight on my heart, just genuine peace and a clear mind."

This was it, this was exactly it. My heart was not heavy, I'm free from the mental chains that once held me captive. What a freeing feeling it is. To wake up grateful, to wake up healthy, content and closer to The Almighty than ever. It's like a warm veil of protection and support from a place different to our own. I guess these aren't often...
