It sounds paradoxical, but uncertainty and vulnerability are your guides through this soggy life you’re living. Leaning into your not knowing will bring you more knowledge and wisdom and understanding than you ever dreamed of.

Follow your uncertainty and fear into the darkness, accept that the darkness will always be a part of you, and recognize that that’s where you’ll find your passions. Then you’ll finally KNOW.

And sometimes you won’t know, too. But it won’t feel the same as the “I don’t know” that haunts you now. It will be a new kind of “I don’t know” that helps you close your eyes, to feel how good it is to be alive, to feel how good it is to just breathe.
