2 years.
As I sit here in my bed, with a new job, living in a new city, I can't stop thinking about how much life has changed in two years.
And most importantly, how much I have changed.
First of all, I was approaching my final semester of Culinary School. Thinking I loved food. Mostly just striving the be a "foodie", (a word I beyond loathe now) and not a Chef.
Now, I have completely given my heart and soul to my career as a Cook and Chef. I have learned so many life lessons because of food. It's my everything. and that quote I finished my last blog post with? It's by Alice Waters, a Chef I have completely fallen in love with the past year and want to be.
I have learned so much about friendship. Two years ago I wanted some friendships for insanely selfish reasons.
Here I am, so grateful for my friends. And the beautiful relationships I have built and worked for. My friends are everything to me.
Finally, I am one hundred percent a happier, more confident individual. This has probably been my biggest challenge the past two years, and honestly did come to me until quite recently. But I can for the first time say truthfully I'm happy with who I am and who I am becoming everyday. And that's all that really matters, right? I think so.
I guess the reason I'm starting this blog back up because I want to look back and remember this time of my life.
I'm so blessed.
I'm so happy.
I want to always remember that. I want my future kiddos to know that.
