Pick a question you’ve wondered about since you were little. You’re finally old enough to actually look it up.

Children collect questions they have no way of answering, and the questions get shelved rather than resolved. Years later you can read, search, email somebody who studies it, understand the answer when it arrives. What stopped you was never curiosity; it was capability, and that has quietly changed while you were busy with other things.

Think back to one thing you wondered about at seven and never settled. Why the sea does what it does, where a relative went, how something in your house works. Spend an hour on it this week and see how it feels to close a question you have carried that long.
