We grow up believing there’s a day when life will finally make sense.
The career will fit.
The relationship will feel unshakable.
The home will feel permanent.
We picture waking up one morning and just knowing, knowing who we are, what we want, and where we’re going.
But here’s the truth no one says out loud:
That day doesn’t exist.
“Most people are figuring it out as they go. Some just hide it better.”
The Myth We All Buy Into
We’re told that adulthood means clarity. That one day, the fog will lift and we’ll feel settled. It’s a nice story. But it’s not how life works.
That friend with the perfect-sounding job?
They’ve had nights lying awake wondering if they chose wrong.
That couple with flawless Instagram photos?
They’ve had arguments that would never fit in a caption.
That confident person you admire?
They’ve stood in front of the mirror, doubting themselves completely.
We’re all making it up as we go, we just wear different masks while doing it.
Why Not Knowing Can Be a Gift
We treat uncertainty like failure, but sometimes it’s freedom. When you don’t have every step mapped out, you leave space for the unexpected, and that’s often where the best parts of life happen.
You didn’t plan the stranger who became a best friend.
You didn’t schedule the trip that turned into your favorite story.
You didn’t expect the mistake that ended up saving you.
The truth?
If you had it all figured out, you might miss the things you didn’t know you needed.
Making Peace With the Mess
I used to think my goal was to collect answers. Now I think it’s to get better at living without them.
Some days, you’ll feel like you’re moving forward.
Other days, you’ll feel stuck.
Both are part of the deal.
Life isn’t a straight road, it’s a winding path full of wrong turns, detours, and moments you can’t explain until years later.
What’s Worth Remembering
You don’t need to have the perfect plan to keep going. You don’t need to be certain to take the next step. The truth is, nobody’s ahead and nobody’s behind, we’re all just walking different roads at different speeds.
And maybe the point isn’t to have it all together. Maybe the point is to keep moving, keep paying attention, and keep letting yourself be surprised by what you find along the way.
Because sometimes, not knowing exactly where you’re going…
is the best thing about getting there.

Can Truth Survive the Post‑Fact Age?
A winter morning not long ago, thousands of U.S. voters received a robocall in the familiar, reassuring baritone of their sitting president.
