The Full Experience

It’s always odd to me when I see someone complain about an experience that they deliberately altered from its intended state.

Sometimes you see someone review a recipe very poorly, but they’ll say something like, “I substituted banana for the eggs and rice for the flour and it turned out gross; this is a terrible recipe. 1 star.” If you make eight substitutions to a dish at a restaurant and then don’t like it… maybe that’s on you?

People change the rules of games, ask for alterations to outfits, or change driving routes. That’s fine if you know what you want, likely because you’ve had the standard experience before. But if you haven’t… try it. At least then you might have some sense about what to change!
