“Americans are a people so obsessed with nutrition yet whose dietary health is so poor. That strikes me as a paradox. We worry more about nutritional health, and we see food in terms of health. Yet we’re the world champs in terms of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and the cancers linked to diet. I think it’s odd. It suggests that worrying about your dietary health is not necessarily good for your dietary health.”

I highly recommend Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollen to anyone and everyone. I learned something new with every sentence of that book. I could put up about a million quotes from it on here… one day I will. Only, not a million, just a few.
I'm an indecisive perfectionist,
so this is going to take forever.
Winter > Summer

It asks more from you. It’s grueling. It’s everlasting; and after you survive it, you feel a release… your waning hope suddenly explodes, expands.
The cold is shocking, it shakes you alive. It solidifies your cheeks, yet breaks you down, it alters your vision. In summer I blend into the weather, I melt and fade. In winter I dash through the streets, radiating heat, finding refuge in dimly lit coffee shacks that transform into tranquil havens.
But then again, I’m from Boston and live in New York City. Californians and southerners must have a much different take.
