Cu avi cuscenza, parra sulu.
“He who has a conscience, speaks to himself”
(Sicilian proverb)
It is not madness. It is experience, reasoning with itself.
There are moments in life when the most qualified person to give you advice — is you.
After decades of choices, failures, and triumphs, you have become your own archive of lessons.
Who else remembers every mistake you vowed not to repeat? Every quiet success no one else noticed? Every small instinct that proved right, even when others doubted?
To speak to yourself is not to lose touch with reality — it is to stay rooted in it.
It is the dialogue of the thoughtful, the murmured wisdom of a conscience still alive and at work.
We talk aloud because something in us is still listening.
And if that voice sounds familiar, it is because it has walked with you through every chapter.
It is not ego. It is memory, matured into counsel.
So go ahead — speak. Reflect. Ask and answer.
The advice may be quiet, but it will likely be the most honest you will hear all day.
