Would(n't) Do Again - Tumblr Posts

; plus imagine being like years in the future sitting in your home trying to follow a recipe younger you wrote and js laughing at how different your handwriting is now. How different you wrote and spoke through literature, how differently you documented your recipes and dammit you didn't list how many eggs to use, forgetful fuck .. And you're there wondering where all the time went, almost sad that you're older now. Then you remember it was spent living and enjoying your life; even if it wasn't always the happiest, maybe it wasn't the life people expect to bring joy. But it did, you're there today baking from a recipe book you started writing young, and you're alive because life doesn't have to have some super secret meaning or value to matter. It can be as simple as you're alive, why not live while you can ? Not everything has to be complex and confusing to be unknown, so why does something have to be complex and sad to matter ? Back to baking those brownies now !!

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.
