all i wanna do is be a chef and help people. i wanna give back and do so with my cooking abilities. i wanna cook and arrange these huge meals and give them to people who don’t even know when they’re gonna eat again. i wanna give cooking classes in a therapeutic way to help people deal with what’s going on inside. i know cooking isn’t for everyone but for me, cooking gives me such a great release, especially when making an especially handsy dish. and then serving it and hearing the positive affirmations fills me with a certain sense of validation i can’t get anywhere else. idk man i just really love cooking and i know culinary school is gonna take my life in a great direction.

It’s totally okay to say “you know what, this isn’t making me happy” and to walk away from whatever or whoever is keeping you from the happiness you deserve

When I was younger I admired people who are naturally smart because they achieved great things. Now that I am older, I admire people who have worked hard to overcome their weaknesses even if their achievements may be more modest.

These are my favorite parents in any movie ever.

This was undoubtedly the most fantastic natural phenomenon I’ve had the honor of experiencing. So ominous. Watching the sun slowly get swallowed up by this dark mass. Looking forward to hopefully chasing more eclipses to the end of the world.
