I spent the past three days diligently avoiding Instagram and I managed to survive a whole 72 hours with out opening up the app once. Spending more time in the ‘real world’ versus this one online has been many kinds of wonderful. Maybe I’m just starting to feel that this space is so far from reality and I’m craving more honesty and rawness that I find in other places. Maybe the concept of taking photos of our meals is actually really bizarre and weird when you really think about it, or maybe I’m just over thinking everything which I have a tendency to do. Either way I still love connecting with people through social media and I also love creating and sharing food, although I definitely find it more difficult to be 'real’ on Instagram than my blog here, I’m still always drawn back to the beautiful friends I’ve made here and the pretty photos. The photo above is from my time last year on the Sunshine Coast. God I miss the warmth of the sun and sound of the sea, the smell of salt in the air and biting into a fresh mango as juice trickles down my chin. The Sunshine Coast is one of my favourite places in the world. I want this space to be more than just food because my life is so much more than what I eat.
