If I could give young me any piece of advice, it would probably be this:
Do things.
Do hard things, do easy things, do weird things, do new things, do uncomfortable things, do things with a chance of failure.
Memories are made in doing new things. Success is defined by doing a hundred things and failing at ninety-nine of them. When you die, people won't remember what you thought or felt or enjoyed, they'll remember what you did.
Will Cheryl actually complete a watchable episode of First-Time Gourmet? Will she find an audience on Youtube? Will she eventually parlay her Youtube show into a best-selling series of cookbooks and a Food Network show? I don't know. It is beyond the scope of this comic to answer that question. Maybe she will, once she fishes her phone out of the sink. Maybe she won't. But she is trying a new thing, that's what's important.
