after i got off work today, i decided to stop by panda express. it was kind of late (for a sunday), i needed something quick, was craving asian, and it was on the way home. i got inside and got cut by an older white couple lol. the asian girl working there noticed and we made eye contact because we both knew what was going on. i told her it was all good. she took my order a few minutes later. white rice, orange chicken, teriyaki chicken. she was from laos, so that was cool. southeast asian connection for real, for real.
all of this is pointless detail that segues into me telling you my fortune cookie was what i needed to hear/read. i have this rule when it comes down to fortune cookies where i eat it before i read it. my fortune tonight was “any troubles you may have will pass very shortly.” i’ve been collecting slips for years, and i’ve came across a number of poetic, yet prophetic fortunes. i can’t remember any of them coming true, true enough to the point where they resonated with my life beyond generalization so i’ve decided to begin signing them in hopes they don’t remain just generalizations.
