so you failed.

and it's only the start of 2024.

everyone around you is succeeding - except you. (or so it feels).

maybe that's not true.

today, I'm preparing a dinner of rice with a golden egg yolk, sprinkled with bonito flakes and furikake. let's cook and chill while chatting about the misconception of failure, especially as we've navigated through the year thus far.

what does it mean to fail? can you fail a year? what if time is just a construct?

each path is unique, and not bound to time. we'll chat about comparisons, happiness, the thief of joy, and how to bounce back stronger - from what we learn.

full recipe is below.

stay gentle, stay reflective, and most importantly, stay true to yourselves.

what are your thoughts on this? let me know in the comments.

love,
gastronomee
