America 04: Chance

Chance

The funny thing about America is that in many ways it's not that different from anywhere else, it's just that there's more of everything. A big country means a big population means big cities. When a place gets big enough, dense enough, you start being able to take a lot for granted. You don't have to find somewhere to eat, you just walk and something will present itself. You don't have to plan to do things, you just go to the place where things are and they will, inevitably, happen. There's something quite comforting about this, about surrendering the large to focus on the small. Just seize the opportunities in front of you, and the city will provide the rest.
