Thinking About Food Differently
That “submit” button was one of the hardest buttons I’ve ever clicked online. Now I have to let this go and trust. Keep my head down and keep working. There’s miles to go before I sleep and graduation ahead, so cheers to the home stretch!
I did something uncharacteristically bold today and drove myself halfway across the state to meet a stranger and talk about myself. Not the driving, nor the meeting a stranger, nor the talking about myself that was weird – it was the fact that I asked …
