I Don’t Need to Have All the Answers

Self‑Mothering Playlist →

There’s a part of me that used to panic in the unknown.

If I didn’t have a plan, a label, or a clear next step—
I felt like I was failing.
Like I was falling behind.
Like everyone else had it figured out but me.

But I’ve learned to slow that voice down.

I don’t need to have all the answers.

Not today. Not right now.

Sometimes clarity comes after I move.
Sometimes it comes while I rest.
Sometimes it doesn’t come at all—and I have to walk forward anyway.

The truth is:
I’m not supposed to have it all mapped out.

I’m not a machine. I’m a man.
A human being with seasons, doubts, and unfolding truths.

And the more I allow that, the freer I feel.

Life isn’t a test I need to ace.
It’s something I get to live—one uncertain, beautiful step at a time.
