fancy chickens

preferablysomethingspecific asked: Sometimes I work on a problem for a long time and slowly build toward an answer, while other times there's that one moment when the light bulb clicks and the answer seems to spring, fully formed, like Athena, from my skull.
My question for you, doragaya, is for you to describe one specific moment when that light bulb clicked - When was it? What was the question? Did you trust the answer and go with it, or did you choose another path?

I messaged you the answer!!  Hope that’s ok.  Actually, I wouldn’t mind putting it up butttt…at the moment I decided to message it.

To be totally honest, I checked the date when I first wrote this answer and it was 3/21/11- over a month ago!!  I think I wasn’t sure that the answer conformed appropriately to the question, but here is my connector: My lightbulb moment was realizing that what I was doing was ok, and that I had become more myself for deciding to do what I did.  I was afraid that I would always wonder about whether or not I had made the right decision, but it was so clear and I’ve never looked back once!  And that is my connection.  Does that make sense?  Now go check your fbook messages!!!  xoxo

p.s. new question coming soon.  don’t be a slow-butt like me!!!
