Not going to be so brief after all. I am a little heartbroken to report that I am taking an indefinite break from baking. Although I expected it to happen, this transition into the latest chapter of my life is still hitting me hard. Becoming an adult is inherently difficult, but one loop others forgot to mention is the one they have to jump through themselves in order to recognize me as an adult. And with my usual support systems being far away and moving on with their lives without me, the clouds overhead grow significantly heavier.
With that in mind, I have no desire to bake. I have tried several times recently but I ended up frustrated because it felt like a chore. Which is really unfortunate timing because autumn is in full swing and there are so many pumpkin-y treats to be had! I can't even make something easy like cookies unless I know deep down that I'm making them with the love and care they deserve. After all, the food I bake is to feed my loved ones and a cookie made from anger cannot be nourishing in any way.
I don't know how long it will take for me to bounce back -- a week, a couple of months, or maybe even until I'm forty! I just pray for it to be someday soon. Very soon.
Until that someday, cheers! to good health and love that never fades.
With love,
Hien
