the way i see it #141

normally these things are pretty weak, but this seemed apropos of some recent thoughts of mine:

i used to feel so alone in the city. all those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. because how do you meet a new person? i was very stumped by this for many years. and then i realized, you just say "hi." they may ignore you. or you may marry them. and that possibility is worth that one word.
