Now, after nearly 3 years of the FM (4+ years counting a frightening presidential run which abused twitter by sharing a stream of "consciousness" of this FM on a national scale) I am ready for some hope and change times a factor of 𝑒 to the nth power.
As previously disclosed, I have been in a struggle with my psychologist over my current outlook as reality based (me) versus depression based (her). I think I have persuaded her that acknowledging reality and feeling depressed have an area of intersection as pictured in thisVenn diagram.
Style Note: my ability to choose appropriate colors for this chart was restricted. Please imagine reality as a light pastel, my depression as a lovely dark chocolate, and the intersection as a somewhat sweet, but still healthy chocolate brown.
In an awkward segue, I would like to share one of my favorite recipes. While it is true that I am no chef, I do have some culinary specialties. Enjoy!
