What makes a friend?
A Relationship Worth Considering…
Thank you, Saania!
The people we choose to let into our lives leave one of the greatest impacts on our hearts. Kenzoku “眷族” is a Japanese word that loosely translates to ‘family’. However, it suggests a deeper meaning: the deepest connection of friendship. It is camaraderie, the family we choose for ourselves. The other day I was marveling over the kinds of people who have stumbled across my life. Then I came to wonder, what makes a true friend?
💜 A true friend is someone who accepts you for who you are. When you are around them, you never have to pretend to be someone you are not. They accept your flaws and love you just the way you are.

The Secret
Oooohhh! #Cabbage
I would see this side dish on restaurant menus and would become so excited. #YesPlease
However, when it was brought to the table from the server, my smile would turn upside down the second I would look at it. “Excuse me, what’s that?!”, I would say pointing to the bowl and thinking I was saying it nicely. #SorryNotSorry “That’s cabbage.”, they would reply. Plus, I’m a visual eater, so I did not like what I was seeing. “That’s not cabbage.”, I would say. All the while thinking ‘That’s not my grandma ‘s cabbage!’ It was swimming in a pool of liquid, and soft. Basically, boiled AND soggy. Again, thinking ‘That’s not my grandma’s cabbage!’
So, I stopped ordering cabbage at restaurants.
One year for thanksgiving, I stayed up late to cook with my grandma. I was extra excited because I loved my grandma’s food! She didn’t have recipes for me to follow. She just had her eyes, hands and knowledge. #Thanksgiving #CookingWithGrandma
That’s when I learned the secret! Grandma #FriedCabbage #Whaat #WhoKnew #NowIdo
