The release of 13 Reasons Why on Netflix was a cultural reset. An adaptation of a novel published in 2007 when talks about mental health weren't as common as in 2017 when season one of the show debuted. The series talked about social taboos: depression, suicide, and the realities of multi-faceted bullying. But it also talked about something that belongs to a classification of higher hush-hush than social taboos themselves: the seediness of suburbia and rape culture.

Life isn't fair-never has been. It's a rough life. Constant is as much of a concept as much as stability is. No matter how thick of a buffer we prepare ourselves to have, sometimes that isn't enough. If anything, the only thing we can hold on to to help us get through life is mental strength. We can't plan our lives, but we can aid ourselves with the strength to face our fear of adversity.

Our bodies are interconnected in so many ways than we care to understand-who could have easily guessed that the topic of mental stability has everything to do with food? Cook with me while I tell you, in less than 13 tapes, the process of mental fortitude and aiding it through food.
