Be careful around people who want to see you do good, just not better than them. Real friends and family will be happy for you regardless.

Ever changing

I don't think i stop enough to think about just how much has changed in the last year. I'm single for the first time in my twenties which has been the most soul changing experience, scary on the best of days. We moved family home to a complete new area, after twenty four year of living in the same home, dads home. We started over. I think we almost had to. So much heartbreak had happened in that home, we were tangled in the memories of what was far too often, often enough that we couldn't quite imagine what would be. So we left.

With that, I also decided to move job too. I had dreamt of being a financial analyst for as long as I had picked that finance would be my path. And now, I get to work for a medical devices company doing exactly that, and helping people. Serving people. Saving people.

I started to move my body. Pilates.I had spent the last three years feeling the most unseen I had ever felt on this earth. isn't it crazy how one person has the ability to confine you into such a box that you're afraid to come out even after they dump it in the water to drown. Much rather, I drowned. Somehow, after many months at sea with my thoughts, trying to staying afloat amidst all the questions, the pain and the longing I felt, I survived. An entire 12 months since you left.

Out of everybody I lost, I missed myself the most. Not in a self deprecating way, not even in a "nothing is ok" sort of way. Just in the realisation that there were versions of me that only existed back then. Ways I laughed more easily, ways I spoke without second guessing, ways I felt lighter because someone knew me in that specific season of my life. I miss being my dad's daughter, and not in the heavy, lonely way I carry today. But I miss who I was when I felt safe no matter where or what. I miss having a dad. Feeling loved beyond belief.

So yes, turns out an entire twelve months had passed me by and although I've felt like I've stood entirely stuck, still. So much had evolved and changed about me and guess what, I adapted. I leaned, I'm learning and I'm accepting.

Somehow it's June tomorrow, which means it's 6 months through the year. Another year. Which means I'm 25 next month. Shit.

Anyways, check in complete-

May 31st 2026.

Lots of love,

Dad would be proud of you Anj.

GMOs aren’t bad

MSG is not bad

Preservatives aren’t bad

STOP SAYING THEY ARE

What we see on a macroscopic level is happening immensely on a microscopic level.

We need to first make that change and step in our community to see that change in the world.

Enjoy the smoky and spicy flavors of these RICARDO burgers, which come with chipotle cheese sauce and crispy bacon. This is a great meal for any time of the year.

Ingredients: 4 burger buns. 4 beef burger patties. 8 slices of bacon. 200g chipotle cheese, sliced. 1/2 cup mayonnaise. 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced. 1 tablespoon olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Lettuce leaves and tomato slices for topping.

Instructions: Set the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to get it hot. On both sides, season the burger patties with salt and pepper. After cooking the bacon until it's crispy, put the slices on paper towels to soak up any extra grease. Grill the burger patties for four to five minutes on each side, or until they're done the way you like them. Prepare the chipotle cheese sauce while the burgers are cooking on the grill: Put the olive oil in a small saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat. Put in the chopped chipotle peppers and cook for one to two minutes. Add the chipotle peppers and mayonnaise and mix them in until everything is well mixed and hot. Grill the burger buns for one minute, or until they get a little charred. Put the burgers together: On the bottom half of each bun, put lettuce leaves. Then add a burger patty, two bacon slices, and a lot of chipotle cheese sauce. Put tomato slices and the other half of the bun on top. Enjoy! Serve the burgers right away with your favorite sides.

The Day Grandma Cooper Changed the Color of Orange

I can still see it as clear as morning light through her kitchen window. I was sitting at the breakfast table, quietly peeling an orange, letting the scent drift into the room the way it always did—fresh, bright, and familiar. That’s when Grandma Cooper looked over at me, calm as ever, and asked a question that stopped me mid-peel. “Did you know that oranges were not always orange?” Now, when…

if questioning a democratic government makes you an anti-nationalist, then is it a democracy at all?
