oh boy, do we have a lot on our plates today (not walnuts, of course, unless in baklava!). let me walk you through a couple of things that single-handedly changed my life for the better, for good: from going to the turkish store and finding a proper block of feta cheese (iykyk), through recognizing that overwhelmingness and gratitude can coexist, to realizing how to do empathy correctly. who would have thought that empathy shouldn't be synonymous with self-sacrifice and enabling something that does not fit your lifestyle or beliefs?! definitely not me! so, you don't need to be the real slim shady to PLEASE STAND UP!
