#10 On a night where I feel like nothing has been solved after all.

I've written this much, but
to be honest,
my life hasn't changed dramatically.

I have work tomorrow too, and
the anxiety will probably come back again.

"If you read this, you'll be saved"
I feel like that kind of answer
wasn't anywhere after all.

Even if there were moments when I felt a little better,
my worries haven't disappeared.

Coming full circle,
"Maybe there was no right answer from the start"
a night where I feel that way.

Life throws questions at us

Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl
asked about life
in a slightly unexpected way.

Not "What do you expect from life?" but
"What does life expect from you?"

I thought I was the one looking for answers, but
actually, we might have been
the ones being questionedall along.

And that question
isn't a loud one.

How to spend today.
How to treat the person in front of you.
How to treat yourself when you're tired.

In those
very small forms.

Answers aren't just lying around somewhere

What Frankl wanted to say,
I think it's probably this.

The answer to life
isn't something you find.

How you live each day,
thatresponse itself becomes the answer.

You don't have to accomplish anything special.
You don't have to say meaningful words.

If you faced this day
properly,
I think that is already a fine response.

Even if nothing was solved

"In the end, I didn't find the right answer"
but,
maybe that was okay.

We try to go far away in search of answers, but in truth,

actually,

Drinking a cup of coffee.
Greeting someone.
Deciding to go to bed early tonight.

Those
accumulations of small responses were life itself.

Even without answers, the morning comes.

On nights when tomorrow is scary,
on nights when you can't believe in anything,

the clock hands do not stop,
and the world brings the light once again.

No matter who we are,
or even if we are no one at all.

You don't have to force yourself
to come up with an answer.

Just,
simply go out to meet
the new morning that is coming.


If you have any 'indescribable restlessness' that you are carrying right now, please leave it gently in the comments section. Someday, I would like to borrow someone's wisdom and think about it together.
