Trying a New Fruit for the First Time

Curiosity, with a peel.

You saw it at the market. Or maybe a friend offered it. The skin was strange. The shape unfamiliar. But today, you took a bite. Sweet? Tart? Mellow? Juicy? You didn’t know what to expect. That first taste is a moment of honest discovery the world reminding you there’s always something you haven’t tried. It might be messy. It might be subtle. But the fact you tried it? That’s the seed of something bigger.
