being an older sibling is like. you've never known a life without me. mom yelled at me and it taught her she never wanted to yell at you. I painted my room purple and grey and then you did too. we live in the same house but I haven't spoken to you in months. I don't know your favorite color. I saw it was going to rain so I picked you up from school on my way home so your books wouldn't get wet. i was so worried when you woke up sick when you were three. you don't remember being sick. mom and dad made their worst mistakes with me and I'm glad they didn't make them with you. I'm doing everything for the first time so you won't be in the dark. I don't know any of your friend's names anymore. I used to know them all. if something happens to mom and dad you won't have to worry because everything will fall to me. you don't like to be home alone but even if you don't see me just knowing I'm there makes you feel better. at least that's what mom told me. you still give me jars to open for you because you can't quite get them. I only see you during dinner. i'd never even think about missing one of your concerts. I stand at the counter when I eat and now you do, too. when offered a selection of books you picked the same one I did when i was your age. I'm terrified you compare yourself to me. I love you. I don't know if you like me. I want you to. mom says dinner's ready

abnormal about characters who choose kindness in cruel circumstances because their existence underscores the concept of choice. kindness as not a state of being but as a state of action; through doing so, a state of resistance. one of the most vivid characterizations of despite it all.

when i put together a recommended list of anything (but especially books and poetry), it takes me days if not over a week or so because i am so meticulous abt the person i am recommending stuff to AND the books/poetry themselves. i consider often my favorites from years ago in addition to recent reads. it's like a sacred quest to me

my mom bought me 4 pounds of pork loin. as a treat. "the wok" by kenji lópez-alt is already scared of me but prepared to be more scared (chungking pork & moo shu pork teehee). also reading "xi'an's famous foods" and i will absolutely be making the hot and sour soup with pork loin. peace and love . on planet eart. both excellent cookbooks by the way, though "the wok" is by far one of my favs

i also just realized i don’t talk a lot abt my home chef adventures here. this must change. i am actually secretly dying to talk about spices and recipes and history and cookware and meal planning and cookbooks all of the time. like a crocodile beneath the surface of the water basically.
