food/social 

I used to adore cooking, making food and seeming to be good at it was one of the few things I was really proud of... But like a lot of things, I desperately needed an appreciative audience to care. I can't really do things *just* for me.

I've been restricted to my housemates for a while, neither really *care* about food and it's kinda slowly choked my interest in cookery to death and I miss it.

Meals that took me all day and hourish hackjobs get the same reaction, and that built up as a gigantic pile of "Why bother with any of this, the results will be the same and it's not like they care at all so why should I?". It went from a source of pride, to a painfully boring and often lonely chore.

@IrisKalmia

This is why I cook with friends, and for friends. Very rewarding.

Come hang some night

@ThatDamnCat that was kinda the crux of a lot of this ramble, yeah
