Is it sad that I’m getting weepy over my basil plant’s death? Maybe, but I am. That plant has been an important member of my household for about a year now. Always fragrant and friendly, through thick and thin. I’m still not convinced that it’s fully dead, so I’m going to have to do some research as to how to resurrect near-dead plants. *bites fingernails*

I don’t know
It’s become a big thing in to be willing to admit when you don’t know something. It’s a prideful shelving of arrogance and blustering to just stop and say, “I don’t know.” No bullshit. I like that.
