sometimes the outcome you end up with isn’t quite what you expect.
oh, sure, you hope for the best. everyone does. but hope don’t pay the bills.

but you make do. or try to make do. because what else can you do? you don’t have a choice. so you muddle through as best you can, and keep hope alive for that much longer.
