Finding a new direction

I found a sliding door that leads directly into a brick wall, which is either a major architectural oversight or the most honest metaphor I’ve seen all year. It’s a pretty solid reminder that you can put in the work to open a door to a new direction, only to find out the universe decided to lay some masonry in your path while you weren't looking.

The thing is, you don’t actually know if a path is a portal or a dead end until you give the handle a tug. Sometimes the door opens to a secret room, and sometimes it just opens to more work. If you hit a wall, you just pivot and find a different door to knock on. It’s better to know for sure than to spend your life wondering what was behind the heavy metal. Worst case scenario, you just move on to the next opening and hope there's less mortar involved.
