After experiencing a difficult divorce and struggling in relationships, the author went through therapy and self-reflection, ultimately deciding to embrace single life. Unexpectedly rekindling a connection with Braulio, a chef she matched with on Tinder, changed her outlook on love. They bonded over shared interests, particularly in cooking, which led to a fulfilling relationship. This culminated in their marriage and the start of a pop-up restaurant together, realizing a dream they both cherished.
"I sunk into therapy the way a swan sinks into a fish pond, head first and hungry. If I wanted better for myself, I had to become it."
"I'm done dating," I told my best friend one afternoon. "I'm too damaged... I'm just going to stay single and live my best life, whatever that means," I vowed.
After laughing over my intentionally forward reply, we continued to talk, and quickly discovered this wasn't our first introduction.
Now we're married and run a pop-up restaurant together, fulfilling a shared dream.
