I’ve gone through ups and downs in my life and every time I’m in a low, it’s because I’m too in my head and thinking everything negative will happen so it does.

Even as I write this, I don’t know if I’m going to take the time I know I need. Part of me wants to prove I can do it all but who am I trying to impress?

While waiting for my Postmates order Wednesday, I was searching Amazon for a food competition show and one of the options that came up (because I only searched “Food”) was Food As Medicine which immediately caught my attention.

This is a lesson that has been really hard for me in both friendships and romantic relationships.
