recently I discovered that 13 years ago I was in the same dorm building as the guy known as the band Car Seat Headrest and this is a wonderful thing and I will tell you why.
People say 'if you think you won't achieve something, you're right. If you think you will achieve something, you're right."
And this demonstrates the power of setting intentions and belief. But in the example of Car Seat Headrest, if I believed I would never meet Car Seat Headrest in real life I would be profoundly mistaken for I had already met him. In fact, I believe I once talked to him about the overflowing toilet and the ground floor near his room. And so I am free from the prison of my own beliefs. The world is far more vast and complex than we can possibly account for and Car Seat Headrest could be lurking behind any corner, even the ones of our past.
And so I present to you a kind of agnostic optimism, the inverse of Thomas Hardy's poem Hap.
