I had a few minutes while got something to eat to think things over and reflect back on some of the recent chapters. Thank you all for the encouragement and advice. I really appreciate all of it.

The number one goal of this story after being entertaining has been depicting strong, confident women, positive female friendships, and happy relationships in general. I don't want to totally shy away from the less positive parts of life but I'm guilty of thinking I need to show more of it to balance out the lollipops and rainbows themes. In the last chapter, I could just as easily have had Hannah be supportive of female chefs and Summer in particular without venturing into talk of gatekeepers and such. I do find it easier to write about LGBTQ issues than any of the other sensitive topics and I can feel it when I write about them. I said it after the mistake with Izabella's origin story that got me a timeout, I need to concentrate on the themes that built this story up and quit trying to force the other stuff in. If it makes sense on occasion, okay, but don't force it and stop feeling like I need to add those topics.
