You can't change what doesn't happen.

I ran into someone today that I rather wish I hadn’t. Okay, that sounds bad. I was actually really happy to see him and the smile I offered, when it registered in my head who it was, was a genuine one.

All that aside, it still threw me for a loop. Kind of like, they don’t exist here. Does not compute.

And the conversation that ensued would be the reason why I was subconsciously dreading this meeting. . . We spoke for probably five minutes covering a wide range of topics, but neither one of us said what we both knew the other one was thinking. It was the most palpable definition of the phrase “the elephant in the room” that I ever witnessed.

I pathetically had a hundred questions I wanted to ask but I walked away with a “see you around” before I exploded with them.

Ugh, guilt gut. Stop thinking about it, Sarah.

In happier and completely unrelated news, a new scarf is in the works! This one is being completed with giant new needles and natural wool. It's so frigging soft, I'm never using acrylic wool again.

Brown scarf, 10 stitches

Actually, by doing something you weren't going to do, you are allowing something different NOT to happen, thus changing what doesn't happen.
