Is anyone else running through the alphabet in your head each time you sit down to write a post? To make sure you have the right day?
I thought I’d have the alphabet down pat by now.
Or.
Maybe I didn’t?
Or packs a lot of punch in those two little letters, which, if I’m being honest and I’m always honest, are starting to look weird next to one another already.
You can change an entire hour, an entire day, an entire lifetime, an entire universe with that tiny little “or.”
“Sliding Doors” and all its progeny were built on or. Every single “or” is a Choose Your Own Adventure, a separate path, a fork in the road.
Or not.
See what I mean?
You’re right, OR is a powerful word as is BUT.
