Take some months, maybe years and stir it up in a container larger than you think you’ll need. The ingredients will rise and fall, so don’t be alarmed.<\/p>\n
Add some fights, to taste<\/p>\n
Sprinkle in some disappointment<\/p>\n
Maybe an infidelity or two<\/p>\n
Add some tears, a tablespoon at a time<\/p>\n
Set a timer, although the timer will always be wrong<\/p>\n
It’ll be ready when everything is broken and there’s nothing left to save.<\/p>\n
Although it may leave a bitter aftertaste, no amount of sugar will save it.<\/p>\n
Walk away before you know it’s done. If you wait for it to be well done, it’ll always be charred along the edges.<\/p>\n
Take some more time. Lick your wounds. Wash the dishes. Walk away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
