The most beautiful part of learning stories in real life
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where stories stopped feeling new.
The detail that surprised me was how much a trailhead changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
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.
I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and people seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
