Conversation With My Mom
Me: Mom, what do you do when you suck at life?
Mom: Fake it...that's what I do.
Me: WHAT?! Really, what is the point of coming to you, someone older and wiser if all you tell me do to is "fake it"? Being wiser is one of the few perks of getting older.
Mom: I've been faking it for years.
Me:And you know perfectly well I double suck at faking it; my eyes give me away. They get all darty like a panicked fish.
Mom: Fake it...that's what I do.

Meanings
...have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
