Don’t say you don’t know, they say.

Fake it till you make it.

Saying you don’t know is an excuse.

If you look deep inside, you’ll find you know the answer.


But what if I don’t?

I can’t just generate the answer to any question. I’m not Reddit.

What if there’s beauty in being unknowing?

What if we weren’t supposed to know everything in the first place.


We’d all be better off if we knew less.

Childlike wonder and blissful ignorance.

“I don’t know” is a strength, a self-awareness

Because recognizing you don’t know is part of knowledge.
