I might be the most stubborn person I know.
No, really. When I reflect on my childhood experiences, one big realization comes to mind: I learned everything the hard way. No matter how many times they told me, “Gina, don’t touch that, it’s hot.” I just had to know for sure. Dozens of tears and I-told-you-so Band-Aids later, I stopped touching the stove, or “Hot Kitchen Monster,” as it came to be known in my imagination. You might think that the increasingly precarious trials of adulthood would have changed a lot about how I approach life’s obstacles. Live, learn, start taking more people’s advice –– the sensible route. Nope. Although plenty of well-meaning people frequently advise me on the so-called prudent and practical ways of doing things, something just doesn’t click. I’m always (naively or arrogantly, depending on how you look at it – I prefer ‘creatively’) looking for a different way to do it. Why does it have to be done that way? Are you sure? Have you tried it this way? Why not? |
