Insights from Just F**king Say It
“The truth is often quieter than the lie you tell yourself.”
Silence is usually a shield for our own insecurities. We hide behind polite words because we are terrified of being disliked.
Clear communication feels risky because it removes all the places to hide. It makes you visible in a way that feels raw.
“Preparation is the enemy of presence.”
Most people spend their lives rehearsing what they want to say. They miss the actual conversation happening right in front of them.
Jargon is just a costume we wear to feel important. It creates a wall between us and the person we need to reach.
