There may be a point in one's life and more poignantly, this exact time in people's lives, where they wonder what is the point in doing what they're doing, how fruitless and trivial it all seems, whether time spent and energy spent on activities which momentarily feel ethically and spirituality vapid, eventually counts for naught.
Then you remember, as I remembered after a short hiatus of NOT sharing the splendours of dining out and boasting of good food that the simple act of "sharing" a meal outside is good-will in itself. That the action of moving in a vehicle, of gracing your presence to an institution where sights and sounds and tastes have been craftily composed to accommodate your creature comforts and gastronomical desires.
Then who can forget. Those people in the front who fuss over your utensils and beam brightly even if you've had a shitty day and the people in the back who battle steam and weak knees so that you may sit in a cool room and eat off a hot plate.
And now that I remembered all this, that empty feeling has been filled by the love of everyone in this industry, fighting, clawing, biting yet still trying to keep the magic of a restaurant dining experience, alive or barely breathing.
Thank you to @gigi_bkk, and the others to follow for shaking us out of our funk. Sharing is absolutely f* caring! Let's remember that next time we go out SOON, to take a few snaps, write a few word and #EatitForward. #BangkokFoodies 🙏 @ Gigi - Dining Hall & Bar
