From the outside, things often look smooth.
Put together. Intentional. Calm.
In reality, there is usually a very small, unnecessary chaos happening five minutes before. π
The part no one sees.
The outfit might be ready — ironed, chosen, laid out with confidence.
Then the heel breaks. Or the zipper gets stuck. Or the weather decides it has a different plan.π€·βοΈ
There is often a short pause.
Not panic — just that moment of “of course”.
The illusion of being organized is another one.
Things look planned, and most of the time they are.
Except for the one essential item left on the kitchen table. Or the note written on the wrong page. Or the realization that something obvious was forgotten because it felt too obvious to double-check.
Timing works the same way.π
Leaving “on time” is often a flexible concept.
Not because I am late — but because something always happens right before.
A last-minute adjustment. A small change of plan. A decision that feels necessary only in that exact moment.
And yet, somehow, the final frame always looks composed.
That’s the part people see.
The finished version.
The moment after the improvisation, the quick fixes, and the quiet laugh at how predictable the chaos actually is.
What you see is never fake.
It’s just the end of the process.
What you don’t see is simply life doing what it does best —
adding a bit of disorder before things fall into place.
