Baking

This week has been rather depressing. I needed to snap myself out of it before I got any deeper and gave into it fully so I decided to do something lighthearted and fun. I baked a breakfast cake. There's something very cheerful about cracking eggs, whisking wet ingredients, and getting flour everywhere. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe because I'm doing something productive? Because I'm treating myself? I'm not exactly sure of the reasons, but it makes me feel better. Then when the baking is done I get to enjoy the deliciousness and I've previously expressed my opinions about certain types of foods being potentially helpful. Anything hot and straight out of the oven is definitely on that list. On a different note, I want you all to know that giving up is never worth it. I was having a really hard time with something important to me this week and it fell through twice (to my great disappointment) before working the third time. If I hadn't been persistent about trying to make it happen after failing repeatedly, I would still be stuck where I don't want to be. So when it seems like nothing ever works out for you (like it did for me especially this week), don't give up. Something good will happen if you keep trying, I promise.
