Let’s See What Happens

I was at Happy Hour recently with one of my favorite badass babes recently and we had the loveliest server. They had a phrase that they kept using that stuck with me. “Let’s see what happens.” When I asked about certain sushi specialties, their opinion on which beverage I should try, the last sentiment was always, “Let’s see what happens.” They said it warmly, sincerely, with a twinkle in their eye. It was so GOOD, it has stayed with me and rings in my head when I start to fret or assume or guess what is coming next. Like, we should all be doing this, all the time. There are no guarantees in life, yet we should get curious and hope for the best, all the while knowing we can handle whatever happens. Not only handle it, but learn and grow from it, when things don’t go great. But that night was not the night for things to go wrong. The sushi was perfect and the house wine paired better than the more expensive Pinot Grigio and my connection with my dear friend was bound a little stronger. It’s a good reminder, especially when there is so much that is uncertain to pause, take a moment and see what happens.
