Sometimes when I’m going from point A to point B, I randomly go in a less usual way. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, whatever. Sometimes when I’m just wasting time, I’ll go sit outside and wait for some good conversation. I think too much about how my entire life can change based on random, meaningless decisions. For instance, I decided to sit alone in the dining area at Wendy’s instead of taking food to go. No reason to stay there, no reason to hurry home. That changed a lot of what I’ve been thinking about since then, and likely most everything else. Stop to adjust my shoelaces (yes/no) ? Sit over this way or over that way while waiting for class to start? Skip my meaningless statistics class and mosey to my next class or hurry and get there late? Those all seem meaningless, but choices like that drastically affect everything. Sixty million variables. I think I’ll just say whatever happens, I’m glad I decided for the food court.
