Texan - Blog Posts

It’s not on a sheet pan, but it was made by a Texan. Texas Sheet Cake so I can have a taste of home. I’m so proud of myself for doing this from scratch! I have missed baking so much.

For me, living in Texas right now is like a dying relationship. I love Texas, I've lived in Texas my whole life, and as I grew to be who I was always meant to be, I also grew to realize that Texas didn't return my love. Texas doesn't love me the same way that I love it, Texas' love is conditional, and the best thing I can do is try to go live somewhere else in a state that loves people like me. Because as much as you love someone, you can't force yourself to stay with someone who doesn't love you, who just tolerates you, and who, if you didn't know any better, is trying to get you to leave without having to directly break your heart. Texas has made itself clear that it doesn't love me, so my plans for my future are now being made without Texas in the picture. There are things about this state that I love and will miss, but I have to prioritize my own will to thrive over the little familiar comforts Texas has given me in my life. I wish it would give me what I need, but I guess Texas doesn't believe in what I need. Texas doesn't love me back, and I can't force it to.

Y'all'd've

Does anyone else say this? Like why waste your breath saying "you all would have"?
