i found out recently that two of the most important people in my life have passed away. a childhood friend who I’ve known my entire life, the one who inspired me to explore my curiosity in the culinary world; and my grandma, who’s been my only constant throughout these years. both of them were taken by a sickness that crept up on them out of nowhere i don’t feel ok, but i feel like i’m expected to be, because life doesn’t wait for anyone. but these are the thoughts that have been going on in my mind, and how grief hurts, in case it resonates with you
