Inspiration: I wrote this during a 7-minute write in a Life Stories class. I've made minor changes to the piece shared in class. I'd like to add to this in the future.

These days, I've bee noticing that food is a HUGE part of my life. I plan my life around my next meal. I feel anxious when I'm not sure when I"ll eat next. When Jenna had us writing lists, my longest one was for things I tasted. When I want to remember events in a forgotten day, I often think to myself, "what did I eat?" I can remember meals but sometimes I forget who I was with. What is it about food that is such an anchor in my life? A guidepost? A grounding force? Is this healthy? This obsession with all things edible?
