I think my phrase ender is “does that make sense”. It is more a need for validation that my idea has value or is reasonable… I had a period of always feeling like I had to know the answer. So for me I had to find some freedom is saying “I don’t know” when I really didn’t.

Ooo this totally resonates! And such a good point that there is definitely pressures to always have some reason so then idk is almost an opening and forgiveness

I also say “I don’t know” when I very well DO know, or at least have a valuable perspective on the topic—this post definitely has me thinking about reframing it! And yes to a midweek post about things you’re reading, trying out, etc.

It may be the Virgo in me or maybe eldest daughter syndrome, but I use to air on the side of “know-it-all” 😆. As I’ve matured I realize life isn’t nearly as black and white as I thought (read: hoped) it was. So now I say a lot of “I think…” opposed to know. I have found it freeing to leave a little space for uncertainty.
