For me, “keeping the faith” oftentimes means that I stop caring.
Because when I indulge in care that is built around lack—justifying my worry with supposed nobility—I’m focusing on the problem and not the solution. Not caring allows me to recalibrate back into lightness and ease. When it’s all said and done, aren’t we all just small specks on a tiny marble in an infinitely vast universe? Not caring can boost my clarity and revitalize my focus, since it allows me to let go of my insignificant anxiety.
It’s not always appropriate, but sometimes it’s the best tool available.

In dealing with our problems, we each have to work with the tools we have until we can find a better way. Sometimes our minds and hearts just need a moment of peace, of “letting go”, of “not caring” to help us refocus and find the best way forward for ourselves. Sometimes we have to shift our focus to something else purposefully to let ourselves breathe. If it works for you, then it works.

Letting go is about caring enough to pay attention.

Sometimes, that’s the only option. A relevant truth.

Oh, yeah. There’s nothing as cathartic as saying, “Fuck it, I quit,” and storming off to convince yourself to stop caring, and returning to plow on because you’ve decided, “Fuck it, I don’t care.”
