Note to self: shut up. But also, don't.

"A man of knowledge restrains his words, And a discerning man will remain calm. Even a fool who keeps silent will be considered wise, And the one who seals his lips, discerning" - Proverbs 17:27,28

I am not known for being loud or overly talkative, but I should be more careful to not talk too much.

The more words I use, the more I might be wrong. And yet, I wrote this recently, too:

"I've been finding I am much, much more expressive now. For better or worse, I use at least five times more words to say the same thing, but I don't say it as many times because I said the more full version the first time. Self-control with what I say was something I did have to learn to an extent (since teenage years was usually summoning up the confidence in my own judgement to say what I'm thinking at all), but now I have some catch-up to do."

It can be difficult to strike the right balance. 

I'm going to stop talking even to myself about this for now, before I overthink it for the moment and stress myself out over it without benefit.

"A man rejoices in giving the right answer, And a word spoken at the right time—how good it is!" - Proverbs 15:23
