past

The past is never where you think you left it. Katherine Anne Porter

The (food adventure) projects I'm working on need some context, but all too often, they're nothing more than wallowing in my sad past. How can I tell the difference more easily? Indeed, I am astounded by how much self-pity I can cram into a page.

“At some point, you have to set down the past. At some point, you have to accept that everyone was doing their best. At some point, you have to gather yourself up, and go onward into your life.” Olivia Laing
