Thank you! I was actually offered a job as a chef at a restaurant locally because of the penne alla vodka I made and if I wasn’t moving soon I might’ve taken it

Oh damn, that's awesome. I can barely boil an egg but love to eat, so people like you make the world go 'round imo. Being alive genuinely does suck sometimes, it's silly to pretend it doesn't, but you only get one chance to be you and leave your unique impression on the world. Please don't give that up, despite how things might be going at the moment.

Also, penne alla vodka sounds delicious. I'm a huge pasta fan. If you ever do cook professionally I hope I wind up in your restaurant someday.

Wherever you're moving to will need chefs too! If you've got a passion for it, go for it! Restaurant work can be a lot of fun, and you can meet a lot of people

I’m actually in college for accounting and I do taxes on the side until I can get a job at a firm full time. Cooking is a hobby for me, because then I can enjoy it. I used to work at a restaurant, granted it was a burger joint, but it was really stressful.

Ha, when I was writing "if you've got a passion for it" my inner thought was "hell you've got a passion for cooking and you know not to do it professionally" lmao. I've heard that if you love cooking just keep it a hobby. Accounting is definitely a more solid career choice. Best of both worlds

Yes, the numbers don’t change. Numbers are always numbers lol. As far as cooking goes, I just wanted to try new things, so I started learning how to make them and the rest was history.

That's what I've done too - developing cooking skills helps me understand and appreciate food better too. You've definitely got a talent for it, I for sure wasn't making food that good looking when I was in my 20s - most people can't. You've got a lot going for you!

You're welcome. Things do get tough from time to time, it's normal to struggle. Shows you have a heart and a conscience. Keep putting good into the world, you 100% belong here. When bad times come lean on others. Everyone is doing life for the first time, don't be too hard on yourself. And keep making delicious food, you deserve it!
