Maybe Is Its Own Language

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Maybe it is not confusion, it’s exploration.”

Maybe is a possibility of more, a doorway half open.

Light peaks in without pressure and is taken in with a subtle curiosity.

Maybe invites its own creative thinking and it will ask or invite more input if needed.

Reflection

Not every decision arrives with clarity.

Sometimes the answer is truly maybe, to find its own clarity.

Or:

I’m thinking about it, I’d like your input, let me sit with this.

Those answers invite conversation.

They welcome ideas, perspectives, and possibilities.

But they are fundamentally different from a clear yes or no.

A maybe is an open field, a yes or no is a marked boundary.

Confusion happens when people treat those signals the same way.

If someone says maybe, discussion can help.

If someone says yes or no with certainty, discussion may become pressure.

Learning to hear the difference is a quiet form of respect.

  1. Words of wisdom. I like to think in probabilities. Some things are unlikely, some more likely, some are very likely, some things are known to be true for all practical purposes, but outside of mathematics and logic nothing is absolutely true.
