Yes, exactly. I have almost finished one I started yesterday about getting a brussel sprout from behind the oven. I didn't intend to write this essay but once I started to think about the process it just came right out. Bizarre topic, I know - but it's really about relishing life's small victories.

Sometimes passion and expectations click, and sometimes they don't. It's important to be open-minded and flexible and not get stuck in ruts that you think are right.

Yes I agree so much that new people often have unique and valuable insights, I love it when new people ask a lot of questions! Makes me think, and that's a good thing!
