Like, not the big dramatic stuff — I mean the tiny things you barely think about.

I was just reflecting on how many times something small ended up leading to something huge. For example:

When I decided to grab coffee at a different café and randomly mer someone who later became a close friend.

Saying “yes” to a last-minute invite and discovering a hobby that became a huge part of your life. In my example it was bouldering.

Now if I spin this further, if I hadn’t gotten into rock climbing I probably wouldn’t have injured my shoulder a year ago.

Now look at the other examples on this planet. A person who called in sick on 9/11 or missed that flight.

It’s insane. If I wouldn’t be writing this post maybe I would have gotten hit by a car?

    Ha! Seattle PD are worthless. Took them five months to even bother contacting me. Then crickets.

    So no, nothing happened, but at least with the Seattle PD I didn’t expect it either.
