Why bother?
A serious question
Everyone I know is reassessing things right now, including me.
For every potential action I could take, every opportunity that arises, every next step I might consider, I’ve been asking myself with genuine curiosity:
Why bother?
Translation: Why is this worth my time? What do I hope will happen? What new possibilities might emerge? What need am I meeting in this moment?
There’s no right answer. Sometimes a good question is all we need.
