Just for today it's OK to just bring chips and salsa to the office party. Just because Francesca brought homemade ceviche and Edward made stuffed mushrooms and Rachel baked a pie, doesn't diminish the quality of my contribution. I can't always express the maximum amount of energy, effort, creativity and thought into every aspect of my life and still take care of myself. And even if I might feel slightly cheap that I didn't take the time to buy the ingredients to make guacamole (my only specialty), these are only feelings. And even if I enjoy the food other people made more than I enjoy the standard, boring chips and salsa (OK, I'm judging again) that doesn't make me a bad person. Just for today, it's OK to show up for Fred's going away party bringing myself, Tostitos, and Pace Picante sauce. That is more than enough.
