Oh, wow, this poem is painfully relatable. Yep, I was that kid, still am a bit of that kid inside even at 66. But now I have compassion for that striving, exhausted child. And one day at a time I'm learning to let go, let God have the answers, be still and listen.
It’s liberating to be able to feel comfortable simply knowing you don’t know…feeling secure in yourself, not needing to prove anything to anyone with your “knowing” :)
Saw this online: “…….the wisdom one gains through age. The more wisdom you have, the more you know you don't know.”
I don’t have to know…I just have to keep learning ☀️
It's always fun to surprise people with what you know when they underestimate you- but so often my way of dealing with my introvertness is to ask questions and get others talking and that way I learn so much! But yes, to not have to prove yourself is a fantastic space to be in.
