Expecting Mexican cooks & chefs to make their food cheap + affordable implies that as workers their labor is of little value and thus them of little value as humans. I think about this each time I see someone complaining about the cost of tacos, a culinary feat of complexity.
also I am not ashamed to be a descendant of slavery. So the word slaves is not a dirty word to me. It does not make me feel small. It does not make me feel less than.
One thing I love about getting older is the clarity with which my desires crystallise. I know what I don’t like. I know more and more what I want. What will truly serve my core and my heart.
I won’t always resonate with someones perception of me, and I love reinforcement of self acceptance that comes after listening, considering, and then releasing.
