seeming is believing.

like with any new job in any new city, it takes a while to figure out the best route to and from work. i've been experimenting for a few weeks now.

i realized a few days ago that i'd found a route i particularly liked and that i'd been taking it more often than not. i also realized that although it feels like it's quicker than other routes i've discovered, in reality it's a bit longer. only a few minutes longer, but longer nevertheless. i found myself choosing the way home from work that seemed quicker, not the actual quickest route.

...and i began to wonder: do i always choose perception over reality?

are there other areas of my life that i choose what i want over what's real?

if there are, is that okay?
