I bought a cactus. A week later it died. And I got depressed, because I thought, Damn. I am less nurturing than a desert.

It's funny: when people always talk about the importance of role models, I used to think that was so exaggerated, but as I get older, I start to realize I don't feel that way so much anymore. If you see somebody like you who's doing something, an older version of what you are, it does make you feel like it's more possible.
