Baking

Just realised it has been awhile not baking anything. Baking, to me, is a new kind of de-stress and emptied-mind practice. Like walking and washing dishes at mid-night. Only me and the ingredients. Follow the recipe step by step without thinking, just weighting. I am working but at the same time resting. I get in the zone and ignore the rest happening at that moment. Priceless.

I am glad that at different stages, I know myself a little bit more. The progress cannot be rushed. It takes time to build the list up, I take time to digest who am I. Such a complicated yet fulfilled feeling. Spending time with myself - to read, to cook, to bake, to walk, to pray. I enjoy the moments when I can fully embraced and owned my true self without considering other's opinions and judgement. Being me.

To be honest, I didn't expect that 'baking' will be on my de-stress list one day as I thought it's not so ccl. C'est la vie. When I least expected it, it turns out surprising me.
