I've had my pothos for about two years now and it's finally trailing beautifully from my shelf

I've had my pothos for about two years now and it's finally trailing beautifully from my shelf. What's funny is I used to think it needed more light, but mine actually thrives in a bright indirect spot away from the afternoon sun. I'm still figuring out the watering rhythm though—I sometimes second-guess myself when the soil feels a bit damp. Does anyone else struggle with knowing when it's actually thirsty versus just needing to dry out a bit more?
