Stolen Pictures & Stolen Dreams

 


Stolen Pictures & Stolen Dreams

(Or how I became a food blogger with zero food photos of my own.)



You know that moment when life takes a wild turn, and you’re suddenly doing something you never saw coming?

Yeah. That’s me.

One day, I was a physics expert, calculating trajectories and acceleration. 

The next? 

I was accelerating straight into a pile of spices, chasing the perfect recipes and burning my hands in boiling oil, which all started with the support, love and co-ownership of my brother.


And now? Now, I have a food blog. A loud, dramatic, emotional, slightly chaotic food blog.

But there’s a problem.

☝ I never took pictures.
☝ Not a single photo.
☝ Not even a blurry, slightly burnt, maybe-too-close-up shot of my disasters.

Because back then, I didn’t know I’d fall in love with cooking. I didn’t know I’d one day sit here, typing away, wishing I had proof that I once made the best homemade dishes 😋(and also that one disastrous bread incident we don’t talk about).


So, what do I do now?

I borrow pictures from the internet. Or, if i may rephrase it 👀 - 'I respectfully, desperately, and slightly guiltily borrow pictures from the internet'

I am at the mercy of strangers 🙏who, thankfully, took the time to photograph their food like professional artists.

But one day… ONE DAY, I will be ready 😎.


💛 I will roll up my sleeves 💪. I will face the camera.

💛 I will capture every spice, every splatter, every heartbreak, and every victory 💪.

💛 And this blog—this spicy, emotional, rollercoaster of a blog— 💪 will have its own original pictures .





Until then… 🙏 Google Images, please don’t fail me. 😆
