What an unusual childhood that must have been, Selina! I learned to cook but only because my mother hated doing it and basically hired me to do all the domestic chores. I find no pleasure in it-it’s work, something that must be done.

Achieving that flow state-I love that phrase-is when I am doing art (writing creatively, not Substacking) and seems to be rare these days. I’m hoping when I retire that I can get back to it.

I enjoyed this, thank you.💕

My childhood felt perfectly normal to me LOL. But seriously, I find that state when doing creative stuff too. People who function at a high level find ways to induce it. It’s a whole fascinating field of study!
