We put up our Christmas tree this weekend, and our 20-year-old Japanese exchange student told us it was his first time ever. That small moment revealed something bigger: firsts can arrive at any age, and our different experiences with time deserve curiosity, not judgment.
Ripeness isn’t a deadline — it’s a relationship. Some things can’t be rushed, and what counts as “ready” varies with time, taste, and intention.
