Intuition

There was a time in my life that I thought my intuition was paranoia, and there were times when that was partly true. As I've grown older, I've learned to read it better and trust it more. I have never believed, and I still don't, that this is anything supernatural. I think that my brain simply has a capacity for translating information from subconscious observations and knowledge into conscious expectations. I rarely ever tell people when my intuitive expectations about some things come true because they are often very personal to myself or others. Sometimes, it is a little uncanny. After I get to know someone, it is very hard for them to hide their true feelings from me. Partly because I am so good at putting up a strong front, even when I feel weak, I can usually pinpoint said trait in other people without much trouble. Perhaps, it comes simply from a long buried instinct preserved in the most primitive parts of the human brain. Human beings are still animals with primitive instincts, no matter how evolved we believe ourselves to be.
