When Looking for a Fix Becomes the Problem

Lately, I’ve been finding myself crying more than usual. The kind of crying that doesn’t always come with a clear reason. It just shows up, quietly, and sits with me for a while.

I’d try to make sense of it every time. I’d ask myself why I felt this way. Was it because I was tired? Was I not doing enough? Was there something I forgot or failed to do?

And that constant searching, the habit of needing to label and explain everything, started to wear me out. I didn’t realize that the act of trying to find the problem was already making things heavier.

What I missed was the simplicity of just letting myself be. Not everything needs a reason. Not every feeling needs to be solved right away.

It wasn’t until I calmed down that I noticed this. The moment had already passed. I had already moved on, and that’s when the clarity came.

Maybe I don’t always need a solution. Maybe I just need to be more gentle with myself. And maybe, instead of staying stuck in my thoughts, I can choose to take one small step forward.

Sometimes peace doesn’t come from fixing things. Sometimes it comes from letting go of the need to fix them at all.
