This year I’m thankful God wired me to be the weird, plant-obsessed, self-sufficiency-obsessed, crazy person in my family.
When there wasn’t an egg to be found in any store, my chickens kept us supplied. We didn’t even realize there was an egg shortage until Mom posted a picture of her deviled eggs on FB, and every comment was “where are you finding eggs right now?!”
Some of my online friends haven’t been able to find canned pumpkin for months. We have 3 bins full of squash in the basement.
The canning lid shortage got interesting, but I had been buying a box or two anytime I saw them on sale, for years now. It sometimes took a while for me to remember where they were hidden, but we didn’t run out.
We probably have enough dry beans to last a year or more, thanks to the bumper crop from my garden this year.
I’m not saying any of this to brag. It’s just that, it’s like I’m finally getting a hint of WHY God wired me this way. After so many years of being the freak. There’s no way to put into words how that feels.

You are one of the smartest, determined and most interesting people I know (in real life!) and, IMHO, you should never doubt yourself.
It really IS wonderful when you can find your passion and run with it. It took me a long time to figure that out; glad you’re finding it when you’re young enough. :)
