And then there are times you do something that you've never done before. In your life. Certain things happen, which lead to other things happening, which lead to certain realities.
And even though some people hate the saying, "It is what it is..." sometimes it really is what it is... and you deal. With it.
No sense in evading. Serpentine maneuvers don't really work. They just make the inevitable more drawn out. And there are some inevitables in life. Not fate exactly, but maybe it feels like fate.
You wake up, face the day, face the music! And deal, baby!
