Vic, the Puerto Rico example works because you didn’t try to clean it up into a success story. The detail that hearing loss made the dialect almost impossible to follow makes the cost of that decision feel concrete, not abstract. “Glad I did it” lands differently after that, because it sounds like owning the choice, not pretending it worked out.

Thanks, Jeff, I appreciate that a lot.
