Best piece of advice?
Well, of course it was Granny Frass, who else! She didn’t hand out “inspirational quotes” like fridge magnets, oh no. Hers were the kind of one-liners that smacked you in the head and left you thinking about them for weeks.
Her favorite? “If you can’t grow it, fix it, or make it yourself, then you’re just paying for somebody else’s nonsense.”
She said it while pulling carrots out of the ground like they were buried treasure, all while giving-out about the price of shop-bought ones. And she wasn’t wrong. Half the world is running around thinking they need the newest gadget, miracle cream, or shiny contraption, when in reality, you just need your hands, a bit of patience, and the common sense God gave you.
Granny Frass would look at today’s world of influencers and adverts and roll her eyes so hard she’d sprain them. She’d say, “Truth doesn’t come in a bottle or a box. And if it does, it’ll cost you triple and taste like cardboard.”
So that’s the advice I live by: stop chasing after all the fake stuff. Get your hands dirty, tell the truth (even if it makes people uncomfortable), and for heaven’s sake don’t settle for less than the real thing.
