I tried doing care the boring way and it worked after 8 tries
I tried this in Manila with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. cats got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
I started this because my commute felt a little stuck, and photos seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
