i think that trying your best, while sometimes wonderful, is also not! recently i've been taking much comfort in choosing not to try my best, bc that is also ok, bc there is no way to try my best all the time, bc not trying my best is another form of being vulnerable to myself. thank you for your words and your food and the little joys in this writing.
