Imagine walking into a clothing store with one strange rule:
Anything you try on, you have to buy.
You would probably be very careful about what you tried. Maybe so careful that you wouldn't try much at all.
But that isn't how a dressing room works.
You try something on. You notice what fits. What doesn't. What feels like you.
Sometimes you put it back.
And even that tells you something useful.
We sometimes treat possibilities as though trying one means committing to it.
A project. An internship. A course. A club. A conversation with someone doing a kind of work you're curious about.
But exploring something is not the same as choosing it forever.
Sometimes the purpose of trying something is simply to learn:
“Does this fit me?”
