Things We Forget

Before I trust them, I test them by comparing the choices they tell me to make. Patterns prove whether or not they can be relied on.

No, because I have a bad habit of mistaking excitement for intuition.

Yes, and they’ve made my life more spontaneous and joyful.

Trusting your instincts is almost frowned upon in a world obsessed with data.

I think instincts are the body’s way of remembering what the mind forgot.

Yes, but not without reflection.

I’m learning to rebuild trust with myself, one instinct at a time.

Yes, but it took m a minute to decide when to use them. Instincts thrive in stillness, not chaos.

I only trust them when I’m not desperate for an answer.

My instincts speak in metaphors; my brain needs subtitles to understand what my instincts are trying to say.
