Who needs to write a novel when your kids love you like that?

Well, I'll be thinking about this question for the next few hours/decades.

I also struggle with the question of what I feel strongly/passionately about. Mostly I just want my life to be peaceful and calm. Other people seem to have big dreams and sometimes I feel inadequate that I...don't? I'm sure there's some stuff from my childhood that could be unpacked around that but it makes me tired just thinking about how much work all that unpacking would be.

Love these moments. These poignant panels capture what a novel would, without all the questions.

Oh, and that was the exact point I got to in that Novel book before giving up - I do feel passionate about eating this cookie, though.

FWIW I eventually did think of an answer. It took weeks, though. And I'm only like 68% certain that it's true. I didn't DO anything with it, other than be like, "Oh okay, I guess that's my answer to that question from that book." But you never know. 🍪
