I always want to be more than who I feel I am at the moment.
There seems to be some key formula to being a well-rounded, confident adult that I lack. Everyone else posts YouTube videos with impeccable eyeliner, link arms with a well-matched significant other, know the right way of matching patterns that seem to clash on even the most open minded mannequin, and - of course - cook dishes that their plethora of lovely, unaging friends coo over at their weekly dinner parties.
At least, that is how the world looks from the vantage point of my Instagram feed.
And I know it's not true, that everyone from the most enviable of Buzzfeed producers to that one friend who always seems to be jetting off to Hawaii is just trying to figure the world out. But that doesn't stop me from feeling that there are some things I could be doing more of and maybe those things are what keep the gray cloud over my head and the sunshine from pooling into the cold floorboards that line my heart.
Like cooking.
