About Me



something new to work on

i wish that the opinions of those i care about didn't matter so much to me. i have totally conquered giving a good goddamn what strangers and acquaintances think. that took a few years, but i can count that a success. i am GREATLY affected, by what those who matter to me, think of me. it's so important to me that i passively aggressively solicit "atta-girl's" all the time. if i don't hear them, i start to imagine that i'm not loved or cared for. i know the roots of this go back to my childhood. i really need to get this under control. i find it so unattractive in others, and down right disgusting in myself.



My Interests



all things culinary
