When I let go of the idea that everything had to “make sense,” a strange thing happened. I didn’t spiral into chaos. I didn’t lose myself. Instead, I started to notice the threads of meaning I’d missed before.
There’s something sacred about realizing that not everything needs to be explained. The birdsong at sunrise, the feeling of connection during a conversation, the unexpected peace in silence—these things don’t come with doctrinal footnotes, but they still matter.
Letting go of rigid certainty doesn’t mean losing all structure. It means you get to decide what still resonates. You get to reclaim what’s meaningful—without dragging all the old baggage with it.
I still pray, but I don’t pray out of obligation.
I still create, but not to earn worth.
I still reflect, but not out of guilt.
And I’ve noticed something unexpected: I actually feel closer to the Divine now than I did when I was trying to do it all “correctly.”
Maybe that’s because I stopped searching for answers… and started making space for presence.
