Slow roasted tomato pasta. Yesterday, I came home Slow roasted tomato pasta.
Yesterday, I came home from a boring date, it was raining, so I slow roasted tomatoes until the whole place smelled incredible and I remembered that food has never once let me down. 
There is something deeply meditative about slow roasting tomatoes in the oven, olive oil pooling, everything softening and sweetening and becoming more itself. No small talk. No performance. Just the kind of lunch that makes you feel like your afternoon is worth something. 
Recipes are back. 
Relationships are optional.
What a distinguished gentleman. What a distinguished gentleman.
No caption. Just vibes. No caption. Just vibes.
Leaving Adelaide? Easy. Leaving the people I love? Leaving Adelaide? Easy.
Leaving the people I love? Not even a little bit.

This city gave me what I needed – time to heal, to grow, to fall apart and rebuild in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve laughed until I cried in kitchens and gardens. Danced in my pjs, cried on couches, shared secrets over matcha and wine. Some of you held me through the darkest parts of my life. Some of you reminded me how it feels to be light again.

It’s time for the next chapter now. But my heart is heavy in the best way – full of every moment we’ve shared. I’ll miss you more than I can put into words xx

    Healing After Divorce and Rebuilding Yourself with Love

    31 March 2025
  • For a long time I thought being a kind person meant being available, agreeable, and easy to be around at almost any cost. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that kindness without boundaries is not generosity, it is self abandonment dressed up nicely. This is about learning to put the boundary first and letting the kindness follow, why the two are not in conflict, and what it actually looks like to be a warm person who also knows exactly where their edges are. Less martyrdom. More honesty. Still kind, just not at my own expense.
