according to james

"I used to feel so alone in the city.
All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside.
Because how do you meet a new person?
I was very stumped by this for many years.
And then I realized, you just say, 'Hi.'
They may ignore you. Or you may marry them.
And that possilibity is worth that one word." (Starbucks coffee cup)
