When the kitchen is the only place that feels safe.
For a long time, food was the only thing that didn’t ask me for anything. It didn't judge me, it didn't leave, and it gave me a fleeting moment of peace when everything else felt chaotic. When food becomes your primary comfort, it’s usually because your other emotional needs are running on empty. Healing doesn't mean punishing yourself with a strict diet; it means slowly building a life where you feel comforted even when the plate is empty.
