Getting Used to the Nonsense

 “… it’s just,.. sometimes,

things doesn’t make any sense,

and we get used to it,

as though it’s been there for a long time.”

---

There’s something hauntingly familiar about this quote. Something we’ve all felt — but rarely admit.

Life doesn’t always come wrapped in logic. Things happen — unexpected, unexplained, sometimes even unfair. We stumble into situations that don’t align with reason, moments that don’t add up. People leave. Doors close. Plans fall apart. And instead of clarity, we’re left with questions.

And yet… somehow, we adapt.

Not always with understanding, but with numbness.

Not always with resolution, but with resignation.

Getting Used to the Noise

We don’t always notice it happening — but slowly, we begin to adjust to what makes no sense. What once shook us becomes part of the background. We stop asking why. The chaos doesn’t go away; we just stop reacting to it. Like living next to a train track — at first it’s jarring, then, it becomes part of the silence.

But here’s the thing:

Just because we get used to it, doesn’t mean it’s right.

Just because it’s been there for a long time, doesn’t mean it should stay.

The Comfort of Familiar Pain

Sometimes we confuse peace with passivity. We tolerate unhealthy mindsets, routines that drain us, relationships that wound us — not because we enjoy them, but because they’re familiar. It’s easier to live in the dark than to turn on the light and face what’s broken.

Jesus once asked a man at the pool of Bethesda, “Do you want to be healed?”

A strange question — because of course he wanted to be healed, right?

But maybe not.

Maybe the man had gotten used to his condition.

Maybe healing required change, and change is scary — even when it’s good.

Don’t Settle for Nonsense

We were never created to settle for what doesn’t make sense. Our God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. (1 Corinthians 14:33)

You may not always get all the answers. Some things will remain mysteries. But you don’t have to accept dysfunction as your normal. You don’t have to live in a fog forever.

It starts with awareness.

Then a prayer.

Then a step.

Final Thoughts

If your soul feels disoriented, don’t just adapt — awaken.

Ask yourself: Have I gotten used to something I shouldn’t be okay with?

And if the answer is yes — bring it to God.

He doesn’t just help us make sense of the nonsense.

Sometimes, He removes it altogether.

So let’s not just settle for what’s always been.

Let’s reach for what could be — if we dared to believe again.

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”

— Isaiah 43:19

You don’t have to get used to it.

You can grow past it.
