Tia is confused

Yesterday, June 10th, during lunch at home, my older daughter says 'I'm so confused about life', with a half smile. So I asked her what in life are you confused about? She says, 'Everything'. "like what?' I say.
'I dont know', she says. So I said, ' you cant be confused then if you dont know, coz you have to know about something to start with if you are confused about something'. Okay, then she says ' what is global warming?' Mickey, her uncle tried to explain, which I didnt think Tia absorbed any of. And then she says, 'how do you get happiness?' And I said, ' I will write this down as the day you asked this question.' Then I pointed to the center of her chest and said, 'that's where happiness is'.
I felt a good vibe listening to her asking questions. I do hope she keeps asking herself, look for answers in the right places, and digest any answer she gets, whether answers from internet or Dad or Mom, and be able to figure out the right answer(s), soon(?). Unlikely. She's 11 yrs old.
