When you are told something will happen soon....

I think it's funny how an advisor's opinion of soon in no way equals what soon means to me.   If you were told, 'i feel this will be taking place soon',  what time frame would that mean to you?

Just curious to see how we each translate time frames compared to what your told.

For example soon to one advisor was 3 weeks.  😱  soon to me would be with in 7 days.  Lol go figure.

I’ve always wondered what timeframe soon meant...almost like saying “maybe” or “potential”
All are subjective!

Lookout Mountain told me as soon as before the end of this year after I got dumped on Dec 20, 2018 and here I am still without contact.

However, time is relative so someone's soon might not be so soon for someone else. 3 weeks for you and I is very long because we're waiting for someone but for the reader it's really not a long time. It's like when you have to poop real bad abd you have to wait for ten minutes and it's like the longest ten minutes of your life. And you spent 10 hours with your POI and that time wasn't nearly as enough, hell it would feel like it was shorter than the ten minutes we talked about earlier.
