i will always wear “i don’t know” like a second skin. not from absence of thought, but from the awareness that certainty is often just ignorance speaking confidently enough to be believed. i will always remain in that in-between space where answers are not finished, because what is unclaimed by certainty is often closer to truth than what is loudly declared as fact. if i stay quiet, people don’t perform around me. they just are. and I get to observe life without interrupting it with my opinions.
