Breathe

Sometimes, you don't know what you are doing. You don't know what you want to hear. You don't know why you are trying. Basically, the unknown things are so many that you are lost.

You try different ways to deal with it. You try to make sense. It still doesn't make sense.

You express this feeling of unknown to yourself and probably even decide to share the discomfort.

The first reaction to this can literally be anything.

Surprise: If you expected something different, surprise is natural. I mean, come on, what surprise, you will be shocked.

Fear: Fear of failure? Fear of unknown? The fear that naturally follows uncertainty. Whatever emotion you feel, this one is mixed with it, obviously if it's not the major one.

Sadness: Being lost can make you feel sad. For us humans, being in dark is related to survival. So, we start thinking that our survival is threatened.

After all this, somewhere there would be acceptance. It would crop in because there is no other way.
Maybe you are satisfied that you gave everything you could and you would not want to try.
Maybe you believe that it may have a meaning in the bigger scheme of things.
Maybe someone suggested it to you and you decided to try.
There can be hundreds of situations and the response would be the same. At the end, acceptance would be the key.

Today, I felt confused and the fear of unknown cropped in a bit.

At the end, I realized that I am breathing. That was enough to bring the acceptance.
