Don’t be afraid to get lost, trust your feelings.

Getting lost in a city you do not know is only frightening for the first ten minutes. After that you start reading things: which way the traffic thickens, where the students are walking, which street smells of bread at four in the afternoon.

You navigate with worse instruments than you expected and better ones than you were ever taught to trust.

Something similar happens when a life stops following its plan. The map has gone. The reading is still possible.
