optimism

I saw this on an ad exec's Starbucks cup this morning during a meeting... couldn't exactly take a photo at that point.

"I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, “hi.” They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word." Augusten Burroughs
