on time, as if on cue

the elevator door opens and dings. i look up quickly, across the foyer, strangely expecting some sort of answer to my thoughts. instead a woman hurries into the door, her larger frame filling the space. across the back what is most likely a ladies workout express t-shirt, can be read

"Change. Begins when we cease to fear."
somehow i think that answers my question.

this would be me.

in the "fish out of water, making a big leap, no longer a small fish in a small cup, and don't know anybody in the other bowl" sort of way.
