chasing the stars that never fall

— the art of our unanswered whys

I used to care about what others would say about me. My endless yearning for answers spellbound to know everything.

Which made me think…

Will my constant desire to unravel the truth benefit me in any way?

That is when I realized that it never truly mattered. Only the fleeting satisfaction of knowing the answer brings us unnecessary stress.

They say ignorance is bliss — and it is somewhat true.

I always say life is too short to dwell and be bothered by things that will not help me grow. Instead, it is better to focus on those that drive your well-being.

I have come to peace that the less we know, the better.

“Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.” — Søren Kierkegaard

Life should not be perceived as a puzzle that needs to be fixed. It is about the art of simply living.

A life that has been well-lived is a life that is shaped by experiences, lessons, and growth, along with all its complexities and nuances.

When we stop seeking things beyond what we can manage, we have enough space to focus on what matters most — our personal growth and sense of self-worth.

In a world that is full of clamor, it is sometimes necessary for us to retreat into the shadows of ignorance, embracing the peace it carries at present.

Not needing to know everything does not immediately mean being complacent or dismissive; rather, it reflects a perspective that true peace comes from embracing uncertainties.

It is about recognizing that certain things not worth our time and energy are not meant to be discovered.

Sometimes, it is better to let go and focus on what is truly important.

Sometimes, the world is so overwhelming that we must filter the noise.

Sometimes, it is better to be unaware than to drown in the chaos of answers that do not bring us peace.

In the stillness of not knowing, we find the space to breathe, and that life feels lighter, richer, and more fulfilling.

So, I have learned that not all stars are meant to be chased. Some are meant to shine from a distance, our guiding light toward a peace that comes from letting go of the need to know everything.

And that has made all the difference.
