What do I love most about life? Perhaps the ability to cook explains all.
So, after our pretty laid-back meetings filled with lame jokes and modest talk about dreams, I offered myself to cook.
"I hate it", he said the moment I told him how much I love to cook shrimp.
It was ironic to discover that each of us loves what others dislike, and vice versa — or maybe, I am the only one feeling that way.
But then, he inexplicably enjoyed the meal. So voraciously. That I thought he did that for the sake of impressing.
Days roll into weeks, weeks into months, and I was still serving the same thing he could barely enjoy. And he eventually got low-key to that.
I was thinking whether he did that for the sake of adapting. It reminded me a bit of how acceptance is much glorified these days. And I was so grateful.
