What's the most important thing or change you've learned/made in the past 5 years.

For me it has to be that vegetarian based meals are not inferior to meat based dishes. I find myself preparing and trying so many interesting and great dishes that I would've never considered 10 years ago.

How about you?

Dicotomy of control, that the only thing that you can control is your actions and responses to the things that happen to you, you cannot control external things, none of them, not money nor work, love, death, health, nothing, just your response.

That, and the fact that everything you love is not yours, they belongs to death, and sooner or later he's going to take it back. Live your life now. Be a good being.

Each day you wake up with a limited number of fucks to give. Use them wisely on the things that matter to you.
