Don’t ask me for advice
I’m not looking to influence you
Certainly not a guru
Or a psychic or telepathic
I know my choices
And how to live with them
My knowledge stops in myself
I don’t have your lived experience
Or know how you will feel
I don’t have a model of you
To reference in my opinions
So I keep them to myself
Let us not confuse each other
Or confound our perspectives
I restrict my words
On purpose.
