I will die on this hill: cake for breakfast is a valid emotional regulation strategy.

Look, I’ve tried spreadsheets, deep breaths, and not buying snacks at 10pm. None of it works as reliably as a slice of cake and a proper cuppa at 7:30am. It sets the tone. It says: today will be tolerable, and if it isn’t, at least we had cake.

With love,
