When feelings don’t come with a name
There are days when you wake up and nothing feels right - but nothing feels wrong either.
You scroll, you answer messages, you get through work. You laugh at something, maybe.
You do everything that looks like living, and still, it’s like watching yourself from a distance.
Not knowing what you feel isn’t the same as not feeling at all.
It’s more like standing in the middle of a storm that’s quiet - you know something’s moving inside you,
you just can’t tell in which direction.
Learning to sit with uncertainty
We’re taught to define everything.
To say “I’m happy,” “I’m sad,” “I’m anxious,” as if feelings are tidy things that fit into boxes.
But emotions aren’t built that way.
Sometimes they’re slow, shapeless, and confusing.
And that’s okay.
You don’t have to name what you’re feeling right away.
The truth is - some emotions don’t want to be solved;
they want to be felt until they fade into something new.
The pressure to be okay
We live in a world that celebrates clarity.
People want quick answers - What’s wrong? Why are you quiet? Are you okay?
But being human isn’t a constant state of knowing.
Sometimes “okay” means “I don’t know yet.”
And that’s not weakness - that’s honesty.
You’re allowed to be a work in progress.
You’re allowed to be tired of pretending you’ve figured it out.
Finding calm in not knowing
There’s a quiet kind of peace that comes when you stop forcing understanding.
When you stop trying to fix every uncertain feeling.
Maybe clarity isn’t something you chase -
maybe it’s what arrives when you finally stop running from yourself.
If today you don’t know what you feel - it’s still okay to show up.
Drink your coffee slowly. Look out the window.
The answer doesn’t always come in words. Sometimes it just comes in time.
