I remember reading ‘Down and Out in Paris and London’ by George Orwell. And there’s a time when working in Paris he and his roommate were so broke that they essentially lived on red wine and bread. The pro tip was, if you took a piece of raw garlic and rubbed it all over the bread, it made you feel full longer because you could taste the garlic on your breath.
Have never forgotten this for some reason. Maybe I think the diet would fit well with me. I could live on bread, prosciutto, hard cheese, and red wine.
by age 26, you should have have:
- a failed youtube career
- a foreign film you watched accidentally yet always recommend
- an unfinished 12 chapter fanfiction
- an unfounded hatred for tiktok
- had enough
