It Turns Out

I am rarely out in the world at lunchtime. It turns out that at lunchtime, you can see all sorts of work attire and hear all sorts of conversations.

I rarely have stretches of time alone. It turns out that there's a lot to see and hear when you're alone.

I rarely have enough minutes and hours to finish what I start. It turns out that even just starting is worth it.

I rarely believe without a little bit of reservation. It turns out that a little bit of reservation can sometimes protect you from way too much belief.

It turns out that things aren't always how they seem, or how they've always been, or how we want them to be. And sometimes we have to take a few steps away from "always" and "rarely" and "want" in order to see how things can really turn out.
