I picked Maybe later, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a family dinner.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. This pairs weirdly well with dumplings. The small imperfections make it feel human.

I picked I need more context, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. My friend tried it in Madrid and had the opposite result.

I think this advice is overrated. I like that it feels lived-in instead of over-polished.
