Though my words often sound definitive, I've just learned to speak with authority over time. I do it much less than when I was younger, but I still catch myself now & again speaking before I know enough to be saying what comes out of my mouth. This is true of conversation topics where there are facts that could be widely known and I personally have not endeavored to study up.
But when it comes to matters of the heart... And I know someone well enough... And I've been witness to their actions... Facts or not, all observations process in some part of my brain that can read & interpret their emotional world. (Allegedly... I mean, I'm only as accurate as the honest, concurring feedback I get from what I say.)
No "expert" in the field of "SLY"chology, but an expert of time & experience just the same. I used to be young and think that wisdom came with time & experience. I now know that not to be the case with everyone. There are slow learners at every stage & in each pace of life. (Some are spinning their wheels in the same spot from birth to death and some not much further.)
I'm not sure if I have too many expectations still---after simplifying my life---or if drifting back into the world of academia & old friendships I am letting the expectations of others crowd my thoughts again.
This is something in the back of my mind for the present and near future.

The daily jazz of my mind, as pure & honest as possible; but know that words are themselves filters of the original thought/idea.
