Bakings cheaper than therapy.
When looking for a place to live, for me everything depended
on the kitchen. I love baking, I’ve loved it since I was a kid and it helped me
get through rough times as a teenager.
But in the past few years I haven’t fully been able to release my cravings for baking as much as I would like to. My old places kitchen was too small and every time I would try id feel like an inconvenience. So I knew I didn’t want to feel that way again with only two of us living here.
Ive started baking more on my days and it’s a good release for my mind and myself.

Today I woke up, feeling groggy, ill, and not mentally ready
to start my day. It took two hours of lounging and staring at the wall before I
got my ass up, grabbed my recipe book, pulled out my ingredients and started.
An hour later I have brownie cooling on my bench top and the smell of chocolate
filling my house and now I’m writing this, after cleaning up, and sending off
some forms for an exciting opportunity.
It is crazy how much better my head feels after baking. It
really takes the clouds away. I think its important to focus on the things that
get you off the couch and kick your butt into gear. I struggle to feel like I’m
good at anything, even sometimes in my job I start to believe the negativity
and disrespect I receive of people. And I have to keep telling myself I do a
good job. Hobbies are no different. I like baking, I’m good at it, I like
failing and trying again. It took me 23 years to master a cookie, but it’s
okay. I did it.
I’m trying to focus more and more on things like baking and
writing because at the moment, I see my better half for about 2 hours a day.
And that’s it. So I’m alone on my days off and I have to find ways to occupy my
mind, so I bake. I write, I clean. I read. I do things that remind me of who I
am. I think its important to have those things so when you introduced to
someone new or asked in an interview ‘so tell me something about yourself.’ You
have something.
Every time I’ve had to play the game ‘say one interesting thing
about yourself’ I always mention this blog.
What’s your interesting thing?
