Random thought

I’m grateful that it’s taken me almost 5 years to get to where I am. I am grateful that I didn’t rush my learning process. I am grateful that I made mistakes along the way and savored them. I am grateful that I still have stuff to work on and plenty of time in which to do it. I am grateful that I was patient (well, as patient as I could be - I can certainly recall some frustrating lessons), and took my time - knowing very well in my heart that Tango found me for a reason and that I would “get it” when I was meant to - after all, if it’s meant to be, why rush?

When I cook, I maintain that the less ingredients there are to complicate things, the better. The longer it takes me to make it (read “slow food”), the better. The more time I take to eat it, slowly savoring each taste, one bite at a time, putting my fork down as I chew, focusing on the different layers of flavor in the food, the better.

The same applies to Tango. I don’t want to add any ingredients that I feel are unnecessary (though I do at least sample in case of a pleasant surprise), and I don’t feel the need to take shortcuts.

Just a personal preference.
