I have been on such a cooking kick.
It gets worse when people are like, "Dang, this is delicious! You should make___!" because my brain gets all excited about what new foods I can combine first. And I just bought a brand new pan from Sur La Table. Literally the best purchase ever! So, baking has been on my mind. And I'm not upset about it.
And here is me tonight, making my personal favorite rendition of banana oat bread.
I have a dream. I would like to open a bed and breakfast when I am older. Right in the mountains of Colorado, just so that my bestie will come out and visit me.
Here's a thought. What if we ALL lived into our dreams? What could we, the human race, accomplish? Like instead of judging which dreams were socially acceptable and attainable, people encouraged one another to just go for it!
Lately, I have been more aware that some dreams I have are a little far fetched. Like wanted to fix the education system or provide healthy food in schools. I generally make some sort of lame, apologetic remark after the person shoots me an, "Are you crazy?!" look.
But that's my dream. Sorry not sorry.
(I also had a dream that I'd finish my reading for school but that's not about to happen tonight)
Basically, if I could give struggling people who feel like they don't measure up some solid advice, I'd tell them to meditate deep in their souls. Search for that child-like desire. Grasp it. Living into it. And achieve your dream. Most importantly, stop apologizing.
Dr. Seuss says it eloquently: "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer and you!"
