Beautiful reflections Valentina. I shed tears when I write too. Writing that comes from the heart is incredibly therapeutic and reveals so many things that need to be examined and released from our souls so that we can move forward. Hindsight is an incredible thing. I just love this highly relatable piece.
Thank you so much for writing this Valentina! A beautiful reflection on heartbreak and growth. We are about the same age, and I also feel a sense of liberation in my 30s - the scaling back of the unnecessary and overly complicated. Please share this chocolate chip pancake recipe!
Thank you!! Oh I think it’s just some basic recipe from Bon Appetite or something like that 😂 should have taken advantage of it for pancake day…but yeah I definitely suggest Eva’s recipes too!
“and tears of coffee from old mokas that drip everywhere as you pour” Your writing is beautiful. thank you for this
So beautiful how you've redrafted your recipe of a breakup into a recipe for life on your own terms — and in France, too!
What a compelling, wise, sad and hopeful read. Wonderful

Thank you for writing this. It stirred up feelings and thoughts in me and made me tear up.
You are a brave woman Valentina.
Thank you for reading ♥️I don’t know if it’s about courage but doing the kind of work required to tidy up all this stuff sure is humbling!

What a tender, tender thing <3
Thank you for sharing. Un abbraccio.
This is so candid and moving. It reveals somehow what was behind your silences and distances. Wish you much warmth and contentment where you are now.
This is so beautiful. One of the best things I have read in a long time.
