New streets

“Chapter One of My Life. I walk down the street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. 
I am lost. I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It still takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter Two. I walk down the same street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I'm in the same place! But it isn't my fault. And it still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three. I walk down the same street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it there. I still fall in. It's a habit! My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.

Chapter Four. I walk down the same street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.

Chapter Five. I walk down a different street.” 

― Portia Nelson, There's a Hole in My Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery

I'm looking for new/different streets to explore in 2019.
