You Don’t Have To Know Yet

Dear You,

This month’s pause arrives with a gentle truth: you don’t have to know yet.

Not the answer. Not the outcome. Not the next clear step. So much of life asks us to decide quickly. To explain ourselves. To be certain before we’re ready. But there are seasons where clarity doesn’t arrive through thinking, it arrives through staying present.

Through living. Through noticing. Through letting time do some of the work.

You may feel something shifting without being able to name it. A restlessness. A quiet pull. A sense that something is changing, even if you can’t say what or why. That doesn’t mean you’re behind. It doesn’t mean you’ve missed something. It often means you’re right where you need to be.

This Quiet Roar Letter isn’t here to rush you into understanding. It’s here to offer permission to pause inside the not-knowing without trying to fill the space too quickly. Not everything needs to be solved. Not everything needs a label. Some things need time to reveal themselves in their own way.

We’re taught to move as soon as we sense discomfort. To fix, decide, or distract ourselves from the unease of uncertainty. But there is wisdom in staying present long enough for something deeper to surface.

You don’t need to: force clarity, to search for certainty, to explain where you’re headed.

For now, it’s enough to listen. To notice what feels steady and what feels misaligned. To trust that understanding often follows experience and not the other way around.

Let this letter be something you return to when the questions feel louder than the answers. When you’re tempted to rush yourself forward before you’ve fully arrived.

You don’t have to know yet.

And that, in itself, is not a problem to solve.

Nothing demanded.

With love,

Louise 🤍
