if you don't like something, change it.
if you can't change it, change your attitude.

after talking to blondie i stepped into my kitchen today and realized that i haven't cooked in almost two years. i mean, literally cook and not just the simple home alone dinner.
i used to spend every evening whipping up new dishes from the cook books, writing my own recipes and experimenting different spices to go with different soups. the kitchen was where i was accepted without rejections and heartaches.
during my early secondary school years i would come home to my tiny little kitchen and stew all those tears and endless bullying away. back then, i was still used to being all alone.
i would put my love into kneading the dough and fluffing the egg whites, giving texture to my heart and soul.
my apron would be this painted rainbow of tomato paste and flour, thyme and butter.
my basil would never fail me and walk away, it would always be there on the right side of the shelf, ready whenever i am. so i guess it's about time i retreat back into where i truly belong and stay there.
this whole year my heart has been tumbling down the staircase and it hasn't come to a halt yet, but all i need is a smile. and i guess, i have forgotten how a whiff of peppercorn and paprika would be able to perk me up.
so it's about time i retreated back to my kitchen, and maybe just stay there.
