Acknowledgments
People ask themselves questions every day. Many of them are not answered and many never will be. Some questions may be so difficult or complex that they seem not to have an answer. They are asked over and over again but nobody ever knows how to respond. And how could they?
There are also some questions that people just don’t want to answer. These questions might make them feel very uncomfortable or remind them of situations or feelings they would rather forget, so they avoid saying anything. But above all, most of our questions remain unanswered because we never ask them out loud.
I do that, and each day more and more questions come to mind. Some of these questions are my constant companions and have been for years now. Every now and then I feel as if I’ve finally found a response, until it slips away and changes its appearance, just as I have changed mine throughout the years. The responses to these questions also change with my values, my attitude, and my mindset as life goes on. The fact remains, I haven’t and never will have a definite answer to all of them which is overwhelming. I guess I’ll just have to make peace with the fact that I might never have the answers to all of my questions.
However, I still feel that thinking about them and dealing with them is what’s important. Whether you discuss them with someone you trust or lay awake thinking about them at 3 a.m., the key is to find a way to deal with these questions and not be discouraged if you can’t find the answer right away. That’s why I decided to write them down.
