onto today’s topic: i live to eat 😁 

i’m home now, and i was immediately reminded that i live to eat as my mom handed me a steaming plate of rajma chawal. unsurprisingly, chapel hill is sorely lacking in the flavour department and i only ate to fill my stomach while at school.

eating just for the sake of living is sad — it’s one of life’s greatest joys, and i still tried to remind myself of that fact (doordash was my best friend for the last 4 months).

i genuinely get so excited to eat. 😭 i look forward to my meals, especially when i’m home and privileged enough to open up a fridge stocked with my favourite snacks. despite the dining hall food being subpar, i would always open up the online menu in the morning and get ever so slightly more energized for the day if i liked what i saw.

our diets and mentality around food are core pieces that drive a lot of our lives. more than enabling our survival, food it a source of joy and community. baking with your siblings, going on grocery runs with your family as a kid, or texting your friends asking if they’re down to go grab food — it’s a big part of our life, so we should ensure it’s an enjoyable one.
