Figuring it out
Figuring it out is hard like madddd.
When you’ve been stuck how do you navigate what’s next?
I hate that this might come off as motivational and if you know me you would know I dislike anything motivational when I feel stuck. However I needed somewhere to remind myself what all this is for.
Some of us want to know what happens next because a lifetime of navigating chaos has taught us that we have to be prepared for anything, and the idea of not being in control feels so out of pocket. So we spend a lot of time thinking about how to figure this thing called life out.
Figuring it out has to be exhausting. Trying to find a path that works and doesn’t lead to your ruin and so some days you just want to be a child again whose only problem was figuring out what was showing next and words to memorize for a spelling test. And one day you realize that you’re going to be figuring it out right up to and until your coffin hits the ground.
The different life experiences that await us will require different versions of ourselves which none of us know how to deal with thus the perpetual “figuring it out”
Sometimes you really have no idea what’s next… and that’s okay.
you’ll figure it out like you always do.
So relax, “figuring it out never” ends.
The one thing that helps is having clarity it makes it so much easier to decide what type of life you want for yourself and work for it. It’s impossible to figure out which path in the road to take if you don’t know where you’re going. and everything else will fall into place in time.
And on days where it doesn’t make sense remind yourself of what’s at the end and to be honest sometimes it doesn’t work because you’re consumed by all the thoughts of which road to take that will get you there and it comes crashing down on you.
Take it one step at a time, live in the moment, enjoy the present it never happens a second time. One day you’ll wake up and realize you didn’t live because you were trying to figure it out and forgot to look around and live in the moment. One step at a time. This is something I have to frequently remind myself because I’m always stuck in the endless loop of stress and worry of what’s next. I’m learning that sometimes things just flow, and you really can let them.
