oh i relate so hard to feeling out of place during my teenage years, similarly spending my lunches at the library. the librarian (a classmate's mother) ended up becoming a good friend over time 🥺

it’s so comforting to hear i’m not alone in that, but honestly i wouldn’t have it any other way 😊

These look delicious, and I really relate as someone who is naturally quiet and also comes alive in the cold months too - I think the two things are linked in some way. The colder months are more peaceful somehow.

i agree. i feel like the collective mind of substack is full of introverts who bloom in the colder months — maybe they’re connected because they both have a quiet stillness to them. it’d be interesting to look deeper into that for sure. 🧐

I can't be downloading your draft on my work computer but I will absolutely try to read it when I get home! I love how your baking recipes are simple and don't involve too many ingredients. I have oats sitting around waiting to be used so this may the perfect recipe for them.
