From time to time there are moments when we as humans completely misinterpret. From certain body language to the tone in a text message it can be easy to confuse things. Certainly, you could know the person quite well that you're communicating with and it can still get tricky. Depending on the situation things can get quite messy and even embarrassing. Forget about language barriers and all that can be lost in translation and you still might have mixups.
I took to Instagram one day and shared this photo I had taken in Rome in 2009. I could have just let it be and speak for itself, but I thought that I should note my fallacy. Originally, I had seen the couple from afar while in a moving car and had thought that the couple was embracing. Come to find out when approaching them that they were really huddled under an umbrella looking at a map. For all I knew they were either completely lost or totally in love. These moments have a way of being a bit funny, but in passing it's nice to wonder what they might have going on in their world...sound familiar?
I know for certain I am not the only one and I love hearing from others about this muddle. C'est la vie, no?
