oh Nadia, this is such a departure from some of your more ethereal, loving pieces. I felt this through and through. That part about hope -- chop very thin, saute until translucent. Sometime's hope feels nonexistent, being battered and beat down day after day. I understood this entire piece viscerally. Beautiful as always!
Thank you so much for feeling this with me! Sometimes it’s so scary to touch the more painful parts of the heart when writing, but it’s worth it. And yes, sadly hope feel to be transparent sometimes, nevertheless it’s still there

Thank you so much, Melissa 🤍 your words mean a lot! I’m so glad the metaphor resonated with you
I loved reading this poem! The metaphor feels spot on, not over the top. Seems like there's a recipe for everything, even sadness.
That means so much, Sofia ✨ I love how you put it, ‘a recipe for everything, even sadness.’ Beautifully said
