I can only hope I’m always this naïve. Isn’t life so much better for those of us who lean in to our ignorance?
No one can know everything. To pretend otherwise is to dig yourself an inescapable hole and miss out on all the fun. Projecting an image of unwavering confidence means turning a blind eye to all the small delights of discovery.
There’s a delight in fumbling: awkward questions and missteps open us up to new and interesting revelations. I’m learning to be OK with my silly inexperience.
