THREAD: Hi friends, for almost two years, I've been curating queer love stories for @XtraMagazine. Essays that celebrate the messy, the all-consuming and the complexities of #queerlove in all its forms. If you get a chance, take a break and read some of them. 
In this beautiful essay, @LaurenInk writes about a former lover and revisits memories that happened in the kitchen of a San Francisco studio. It's about food, love and moving on. Give it a read. https://www.dailyxtra.com/lover-stopped-cooking-relationship-over-168891
