IMPORTANT THREAD

I& #39;ll no longer be discussing politics on this platform. You have to know when to shut up and I get that. I& #39;m no stranger to admitting when I& #39;m wrong and the truth is, no one wants my opinion on George Floyd/Minneapolis. I& #39;m not adding anything useful there. 1/5

What I& #39;ve learned as I get older is knowing what people want from you and what they don& #39;t. More importantly, what I am qualified to speak about. Fitted sheets, racial injustice, gardening, Cubs history, mushroom adoration, etc. 2/5

It& #39;s not silencing yourself. I& #39;d never do that. It& #39;s more about knowing when to speak and when to listen. When to produce an output and when to shut down and just take in information. Today, I had good conversations and some testy ones. I made certain people mad as well. 3/5

Since I idolize people like @reneknottsports and @Frank_Cusumano, I am going to follow their lead and create more of a focus for my Twitter account. If I draft a tweet and don& #39;t feel 110% invested in it, it will be deleted or discarded. I& #39;m going to be better than yesterday. 4/5

I& #39;ll still have opinions but they will be focused on things I am knowledgeable of and ready to take on the consequences of those words. I will be more mindful of my audience and what they want from me. That& #39;s it.

Be safe, kind, and sane out there. I appreciate the time. 5/5
