(Italiano sotto) I'm sitting here, at my desk, trying to come up with an excuse for being absent from the blog for almost TWO months, but I can't come up with anything. I'd love to tell you that I found a job, that I'm in a relationship or went on vacation but the truth is I've been stressing over not finding a job. The good news is that, somehow, I'm not as anxious about my future as I was two months ago.

(Italiano sotto) I struggled a lot with anxiety and depression in 2017. I thought I managed to leave all that behind me but apparently, I didn't. I feel stuck, like I'm going nowhere. I am 24 and I know many of you will say that I'm still young, but am I really that young? I still haven't been able to find a job, I don't have a relationship which doesn't bother me that much but some people never fail to point that out, and the future is starting to terrifying me. A lot.

(Italiano sotto) I turned 24 yesterday and I'm starting to freak out already because I'm going to be 25 next year which basically means I'll be 30 in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, this is not what ruined my day.

(Italiano sotto) My birthday is coming soon so yesterday I spent the afternoon trying to make a gluten-free version of the Black Forrest cake which is the cake I've had for my birthday for the past 8 years. It didn't turn out very well. The taste isn't bad, though it feels like something is missing, but since we don't have small tins at home, it ended up looking like a spaceship.

 (Italiano sotto) I finally have some good news people! No, I'm not going to stop doing what I've been doing for the past three/four months, posting a recipe and disappearing for an entire month. Yeah, I know it isn't cool, but remember my "being lazy and not being so motivated to keep doing this" talk? Well, it's still the same. But I feel more like cooking more elaborate dishes recently. It's probably because Spring is coming.
