Letter #47: Encouragement from Cheese

It kind of makes sense, I swear

Dear reader,

I just found a note I jotted down from when I was shredding cheese for a recipe recently:

“Hard times are a little like shredding cheese. It kinds sucks for a while, but it ends eventually and then you’re done with that part of the recipe.”

Horribly cheesy (ha, wow), cringe, and not the greatest analogy, but I suppose the sentiment is there. Even when you’re doing something you don’t like, eventually that thing will be done and you won’t have to do that thing anymore.

Hope things aren’t sucking wherever you are right now. And if they are, here’s hoping that you’ll be done with that part of the recipe soon.

Thanks for being here,

Olivia

I absolutely loved this album, After Laughter, in college! This is one of my favorites from the album; it still has a special place in my heart. I hear the phrase “hard times” and the lyrics pop into my head :)
