Sometimes things (don’t) go as you hope they will — Lately, I’ve felt so (un)inspired Everything I write is(n’t) great I’ll probably end up (never) publishing most of it I (don’t) love my ideas My thoughts seem to (cease their) flow Just like (stagnant) water My mind is (just not) focused My heart is (up)set I’m (not) happy with the way things are I feel like I can(‘t) do anything!

I hope you get a chance to try it out! I hope you like it, that recipe is always a hit around here!

Ah, it is not my secret to tell. I must direct you to the lovely blog of Robyn Stone. (I know, shame on me for directing you off Medium, but I must give credit where it is due!) There are many iterations of this chocolate cake on the 'net, but hers is the one I found first years ago when I needed a chocolate cupcake recipe for my kiddo's birthday. https://addapinch.com/chocolate-cupcakes-recipe/ This measurement is for cupcakes, but I have used the same measurement, or sometimes 1.5 the measurement for a cake in a 8.5 x 13 inch pan. The secret is the boiling water. It seems to keep more moisture in.

You never know what you might need!

Holy cow! That is scary and creepy! I am sorry you are going through this. I hope she finds something in her own life to bring her happiness and moves on from obsessing about yours. Stay safe!
