When I think back, I don’t remember being given a choice either when this nerdy girl walked into City Lights and this voice in my head was telling me, “Whatever you do, do not let her go until you get her number.” Here’s the thing. We all wake up and we have to take the same Terms and Conditions box: Everyday stuff will happen to you. Some of it will be good. Some of it will be bad. Choice is less about what happens than it is about how we deal with it. I’ve been thinking a lot about all the things that have happened to us over this past year. I won’t lie. Sometimes it’s terrifying. And sometimes it’s incredibly exciting. It’s been maddening, enlightening, confusing, and always unpredictable. However, I don’t think there’s been a single day when I didn’t hear that same voice in my head telling me…”Whatever you do…do not let her go.”
