Your words are so beautiful, I got goosebumps at the end!! <33 I was in a relationship with a guy who tracked every single food intake and a guy who insisted on making popcorn or cereal for dinner lmao, but one of my best friends is the best cook in the world imo and living together with her has taught me that taking the time to cook a yummy meal is so worth it, and even better if it's shared!

Great, but difficult read Emilie. I love food. But I can completely get the being on your own thing and not feeling like it’s worth it, if it’s not shared. I’ll challenge you to either find a nice food market and once a week go hangout there experiencing the atmosphere around good food and people. Take a friend. Maybe meet someone new. Here’s to falling in love… with food again

the diet coke and cigarette on the front steps as self care is soooo real haha. But I am glad you are choosing healthier, heartier options now :)

Another amazing piece that makes me feel validated, comforted, and less alone — a reminder to be kinder to myself and women everywhere❤️
