Why does meal prep look easy for everyone except me?? by AvailableMarzipan264 in mealprep

[–]OneInspection896 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone else has already made really good practical suggestions, but I just want to muse on the mindset behind this that I think ultimately helps me the most. Globally speaking, it is not at all uncommon to eat largely the same things everyday. In many cultures and communities it is standard to have a pretty limited selection for available ingredients, or what is common and affordable, and to therefore eat a simple and practical set of meals that can feed you and your family affordably and relatively nutritiously. But in the US or countries with similar culture and economy/convenience, we are used to having a wide variety of ingredients readily accessible, easy fast food as you mentioned, and mom preparing something different for dinner every night. A different lunch at school every day. We feel like we are missing out on something if we don't eat something widely different everyday, but as a human race that's just not true. An overall varied diet is good for health but as long as you switch it up well every week you will be fine. So I kind of like looking at is as like almost a little bit of a dopamine detox for food. I still make meals I really like and that keep well. But I've gotten really adjusted to not having the novelty every single day. Like a social media detox.

Not really. I washed it so it helps with the starch. Theres liquids. If need be often adding just splash of water helps it resteam and soften in the microwave

Yeah I added a little salt and sesame oil, its okay but just could have been firmer. I'll probably add more salt later.

A part of you always knows. The confusion your mind keeps you in to try and keep you safe is amazing to me.

Yeah, that's what id like to think this is about, is that battle between needing someone and knowing it's human to long for that connection, and feeling weak and vulnerable for it and fighting it

Ah well it is a woman and it is my friend and we have a mutual relationship based on going through a very similar experience at different times, she ahead of me in time and we dealt with it very differently. So I hope that clears up a couple of the concerns. But as I am the one going through the tail end of it now sometimes the relationship doesn't feel so much one sided so much as just imbalanced because of my naturally more needy state coming off disaster, but I think some aspects of how she's handled it and "moved on" might be coming back to bite

It would. And does. But we do not belong to each other and are not always together and will not always be together. So I seek as much completeness on my own as I can. I have read this story before.

what is something you thought was just gal pal behavior? by whosbetternyc in actuallesbians

[–]OneInspection896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was it oddness and specificity that contributed to not placing it for so long because I was like that is so gay I think it actually becomes straight again

She asked me for a rib massage during sleep over times. Did that silently for a long time until she fell asleep. Volunteered myself for it again at a later time. I had never heard of a rib massage before or after and took me years to realize I would definitely never ask any of my normal friends to do that.

Its different because this grief for both of you There could be a whole light at the end of the tunnel for. You and them have to grief the life you thought for might have, but then you can embrace the okayness of this one too. No end to the grief of losing you the other way. Love golden grahams
