Your carrots are uneven.
The onion is jagged.
The garlic looks… stressed.
Good.
Perfect chopping is for cooking shows.
Not dinner.
Dinner doesn’t care if your knife skills are clean.
Dinner cares if you showed up.
If you tasted as you went.
If you got distracted laughing.
If you plated it anyway.
We don’t remember the precision.
We remember the warmth.
We remember that you cooked.
Imperfect chopping means you cooked without waiting to be perfect.
And that’s what makes it perfect.
The goal isn’t control.
The goal is connection.
So chop how you chop.
Then feed someone you love.
