A feeling arrives and the first instinct is to fix it.
Name it. Analyse it. Solve the problem underneath.
But some feelings aren't problems.
They're weather.
You don't negotiate with rain.
You don't argue with a cold wind.
You pull your coat tighter and let it pass.
The urge to understand can be another way of escaping.
A way to stay in your head when the feeling lives in your body.
Not everything needs a reason.
Not everything wants resolution.
Some discomfort just wants company.
A quiet acknowledgment that it's allowed to be here.
Sit with it.
Not because it teaches you something.
Not because you'll feel better after.
Just because it's there.
And so are you.
