Subconsciously you hid it from yourself

Sometimes what you thought you saw that was stressing you out turned out to be a "horse of a different color." Take for instance when viewing a home to rent you thought the countertops were yellow and thought it was a horrible kitchen you would have to live with. Truth is when you moved in the countertops were mostly black in it's marbled look. Now how is that even possible? Perhaps your mind subconsciously knew that it would be a pleasant surprise that you would need the first day you moved in to help you love it even more.
