Not Sure What to Say

Hello dearest reader,

I’m not sure whether to write or to rest these days. The globe is in shambles it seems. One day we’re in heaven the next we’re in hell. The food, the environment, the systems that made us who we are, are literally folding before our eyes. I never thought I’d see this day, let alone my parents. They work(ed) so hard for me to be able to do what am passionate about. Food that’s my jam, art and coloring I love it, but why do I always feel the need to do more. Is that our human nature or the societal pressures still lingering in my peripheral?

Either way, I accomplished a lot today. I washed clothes, did dishes, worked for more than five hours and managed to cook for my husband. Adulting is really something; it’s not for the faint of heart.

Carpe Diem,

Ali
