“People who love to eat are always the best people.” – Julia Child
I love Sunday brunches with friends. Sunday has that vibe, you know, the one where it's all about happiness that you share and of that you get. People take food too lightly, what they don't understand is that good food is a way to connect with a person or people. That's fundamentally one of the major functions of food. Eating together is one of the easiest social skills that helps us bond.
As I've grown up, I realize the importance of good friends, not quantity but the quality. It matters more that I have that someone who I can chat with and share all of my life's secrets with. Talking about things gives you perspective. A conversation that helps you change or rather reflect on your perspectives. Life has become so busy, there's family, work, there's social media whether we like it or not but that takes up most of our time in these current times. Out of this, even when we meet the people we love, social media becomes a part of it. The reason behind it is slightly narcissistic but hey, who am I to judge!
Anyway, coming back to brunches. It's funny how as we age, the definition of being with people or around them changes. These days I just want to chill and have some good food with amazing ambiance, discussing the catastrophe that our life has become. In a way that becomes a saving grace that keeps us sane. That keeps me grounded at least. I take on a lot of stress and that will one day become the death of me that much I know but may God be my witness, I'll survive it till I have good friends who keep me sane.
Happy Sunday, Folks!
