#mmmm cake

The criminal urge to just eat cake with your bare hands.......

Just clawing the cake and scoffing it down like an animal. 🤭

I personally really like the strawberry cake my mom makes with vanilla frosting. It's so dense and tasty, and she makes the buttercream frosting from scratch. It's my favorite cake that she's recently made.

79. What’s one of the cutest things someone has ever done for you?

Another year older today. And what a year it has been. Still dealing with longstanding grief from losing my dad, then mom had a stroke in February...I have had a lot on my plate.

I am doing much better lately in taking care of myself. I’ve lost 25 pounds so far since May, I’m sleeping better (this also means no more all-night writing sessions....I miss writing like mad like I used to, but sleep is pretty important too). I’ve learned not to dwell on unimportant things - and I’m learning not to freak out insanely when the slightest thing goes wrong. I think mom’s illness put a lot of things into perspective for me, really. What a lesson to learn.

I’ve also learned not to let others project their negativity onto me and drag me down. I’m a bit of an empath, and often I would let someone else’s mood dictate my own. It’s not healthy, and it took a while to come to that realization, but I think I’m better off for it in the end.
