Wow. This piece was incredibly personal. My mom said at dinner day before yesterday that I shouldn't talk about food and cafe's lol. I had flat white. from a cafe for the first time today lol. Usually I have those Maybe I won't have it again tho. One of my fav shows in recent times has to be the bear and it's so lively and slice of life, especially in the first season. It's about a restaurant and people's passion for food and mental health. And it just connects food to life, it brings it to life. In my culture, food becomes a bit too overbearing sometimes. It overpowers all social convos. People live for eating lmao. So naturally, it drips into everything. All aspects of life. The building of food, just witnessing it, doing it, it could be therapeutic as well as frustrating sometimes. It's beautiful.
