That not
At a stoplight earlier, a cyclist pulled up next to a car and tapped on the window. Not aggressively — more like he was trying to get the driver’s attention before the light changed. I couldn’t hear what he said, but the driver rolled the window down just enough to respond. Whatever the cyclist meant, the driver clearly heard something else. Her shoulders stiffened. His hands lifted in a “wait, no, that’s not—” gesture. The light turned green before either of them could fix it.
I drove away thinking about how often we misread the world’s signals — not because they’re unclear, but because we’re already bracing for the wrong message.
Some signals aren’t meant for us.
We just catch them in the wrong emotional weather.
