Some things unfold better when we stop rushing to understand them.
The Space Before the Answer
You want to know.
You want clarity.
Closure.
A map.
You want to name it.
Fix it.
Understand it.
But what if it’s not time?
What if the not-knowing isn’t a failure but a form of formation?
The Pause That Holds the Page
Uncertainty isn’t the enemy.
It’s the inhale before the line.
The soft blur between questions and clarity.
The moment when life is still rearranging itself.
In psychology, uncertainty tolerance refers to the ability to remain present without rushing to resolve issues.
It’s not passivity.
Its presence.
It’s trust without a timeline.
What We Do When We Can’t Stay Still
When we resist uncertainty, we tend to:
Overthink
Obsess
Micromanage
Interpret too fast
Settle too soon
But when we stay gently inside the in-between, something else begins to grow:
Curiosity.
Patience.
Room to breathe.
Room to become.
When You Don’t Know Yet
Where am I rushing to resolve before I’ve listened?
What discomfort am I trying to escape by needing an answer?
What if this space isn’t empty but is being prepared for something new?
“Nothing is permanent but change.”
Elbert Hubbard
Not every answer knows when to come.
Some take their time.
And most arrive softer when we no longer ask them to hurry.
You’re invited to meet this space gently.

Some truths need time to unfold before they can be spoken.
