Imperfect Poha & The Truth about Cover-up Stories
This morning, I made the most imperfect bowl of poha satin rice. I'm not sure if I have ever made a batch of perfect poha at home. I don't describe myself as a gifted cook, and I have very rare memories of serving up the perfect meal for my family. No, I'm not being hard on myself. I'm being very, very honest

It was so good to listen about the imperfection or you can say perfection of a particular dish from you. And the way you have experienced the things in your life regarding the food. Whatever you are telling and the way you are sharing with all of first is so cute and so nice to hear
Hello. This well so much resonated with me because I am also not a great cook. In fact, being a great cook, I don't think that I even fit into the stereotype of a perfect woman. But the point is that, to be frank, I've tried to fit into that image many times. I have tried and I failed. Because after some time, as you likely said, the cover up doesn't suit you

I think that the increasing pressure to conform with an image is perhaps what leads to this vicious circle of creating cover up stories. As a mom, though, I have been very happy to embrace my imperfections and let my child know that I am human. But I must admit that this has been a process this route of years of experience of having lived across different geographies cultures understanding mindsets and perhaps finally growing up and being comfortable in my own skin to acknowledge that this is who I am
Nobody's perfect, but it does happen. At the end of the day, make sure your coverup story does not become your real story. Cheers. Bubu. Thank you so much once again. And I'm following you. I hope you're doing the same too. Hoping to hear a lot more from you. Take care. This is Charity from Cheers Cherry Podcast signing off. And yes, Via makes the world a cheerful place to live in.

So cover up stories are here, and they're going to be here for a long, long time, and I so hope I would be alive when they go away for good, but I don't think I will. But that's okay because that is another coverage story I'm choosing to tell myself. I loved thinking about this and thank you for posing such a wonderful question
