Erin Borst
Bio
I enjoy alliteration and repetition
Rhyming, ranting, and ambition
I sing songs I make up on the spot
I tell tales of trinkets I like a lot
I love to look to the moon while my head's in a cloud
I'm a chemist, a writer, a lover, and proud

Prep Time: 0 minutes Total Time: 5 minutes Servings: 1 serving If you had told me a year ago, just finishing up my Bachelor's degree, that I would be eating anything that didn't remotely resemble a Waffle House meal for breakfast I would've told you that you were absolutely out of your gourd. That being said, it turns out that being locked in an apartment during a pandemic will do absolutely mind-boggling things to you, and I find myself buying Pea-Milk (Soy milk and Oat Milk make sense, who milks a pea??) and two bags of granola a week. This is not a confirmation on how healthy I am, this is your warning to run the other direction if you want to keep enjoying sausage links.

Dear Mom,
It would be easier to write about how you have been there for me, which in and of itself is something to be proud of. It is not a guarantee that any parent will care for and love you for all your life, so thank you. It would be easier to write how you took me to the hospital when I ate something that my immune system was unfortunately unprepared for, or how you comforted me when I was struggling with my mental health, or how you opened your home to me when I needed it. It would also be easier to omit the painful truths. How home was filled with empty alcohol bottles which was why I declined your offer, or how I saw that you ignored the scars on my wrists for weeks until you were emotionally prepared to deal with them, or how I remember every hospital trip as an endless lecture of responsibility and sacrifice.
