Malnourished
In our house, meals were not about hunger. They were ceremonies. Food arrived at the table carrying expectations, not nourishment. Each dish was proof. Proof that someone cared. Proof that effort had been made. Proof that love, however clumsy or distorted, had taken physical form. To refuse it was not to dislike the food. It was to reject the person who made it.

My Friends Say They're "Worried About My Body" — I finally realised what they're really protecting.
“You’re not going to eat all of that, are you?” The fork was halfway to my mouth when she said it, her voice wrapped in a laugh that never quite reached her eyes. It was pasta. It was rigatoni, really, with too much sauce, in a bowl too big for it, at a loud Italian place where the waiter kept calling us "ladies", as if we were one person. I remember my hand suspended, the cheese solidifying, the table silent beside me.

When Did You Realize Men Were Evil?
You know, growing up, I got my history lessons in school, and one thing that really stuck with me was the story of the two World Wars. At first, it all seemed pretty straightforward , just people disagreeing and resorting to violence to sort things out. Honestly, it felt like just another chapter in a long list of conflicts, kind of like the wars that have come before and the ones still happening today. I thought, “Okay, disagreements can lead to violence sometimes.” Simple enough, right?
