Facing the unknown
Not knowing what happens next can feel like standing at an edge with no floor in sight. The unknown is uncomfortable precisely because you're awake to it, not because you're handling it wrong. You have made it through every uncertain chapter so far without a map, finding your footing as you went. You don't need to see the whole path to be okay where you're standing right now.
Read one, sit with it, and draw as many more as you need.

Facing the unknown
“You can't see what's coming, and that's not the same as something bad coming. The dark ahead is just dark, not dangerous. Unlit is not the same as unsafe.”
More comforting words for this feeling
“Not knowing is uncomfortable, but it's also where every possibility still lives. A future you can't predict is also one that hasn't ruled out anything good.”
“You've stepped into the unknown a hundred times before, every new school, job, room, year. You couldn't see those either, and you found your footing each time.”
“The unknown feels like a threat because your mind fills the blank with fear. But the blank is just blank. You're the one coloring it dark; you could color it open.”
