2026 won’t be a good year. It won’t be a bad year, either. It will be a real year, just like that scene in The Matrix where Neo lands in the hard, but also with his heart felt, reality. The reason I say this is that many of us, including me, have been used like human batteries in exchange for the promise of something good happening.
💜 Work hard, and you’ll get a reward. Unless you don’t, and end up eating more than feels good as part of your reward system.
💜 Sacrifice yourself, your body, and your mental health, and your kids will be happy. Yet, when we self-sacrifice, we can never model self-care.
💜 Shut up, because you’re too small. And then you’re big, too big in any dimension, and they still want you to shrink yourself, and fit into unreal clothes, expectations, and roles.
We all want to eat real food, but we find it hard to be real in a world where reality and fiction have never been so hard to distinguish. That’s why I say ‘cheers to a real 2026’. I’m taking the symbolic red pill, again referring to The Matrix. After all, how can food support us when we don’t know who we really are, and what we’re here for? I’m here to help you feel good around food.
This year, I choose realness over goodness. We can’t be good all the time, and that doesn’t seem to be the point. But privileged with safe conditions, we can get real and free ourselves from masking, neglecting ourselves, and doing things that don’t feel good. 🧡
