@Alia this is such a lovely discussion that we already had it. 😀 Check out this topic here. Please add your thoughts and ask your questions. It’s a huge discussion, and the more opinions we can get on it, the better. 😉

Top marks to you, @rachelle, for actually having a reason to use a cliche! It’s a pretty interesting twist on a familiar story.
