#2 Cooking

-
Hello Again,
I hope you're doing well.
I'm hoping to have a cookie recipe for you soon.  Months ago, I did a little research on cookie ingredients, taking notes on what each ingredient is for and what variations of those ingredients work the best or achieve the right texture or flavor. I narrowed down the best form of each ingredient, at least in my opinion, and put them (and whatever quantity seemed best or average) in a recipe.
Now, I've never made my own recipe before. I used to cook and bake with my mom when I was a kid, and I've cooked some with my Dad, my best friend, my boyfriend, etc over the years, as well as trying new recipes by myself. I even worked with food for a while, although I wouldn't call it real cooking. I don't consider myself anywhere near proficient in cooking. I've always wanted to make a recipe though, I just didn't know how. But I made one and I hope to try it soon. I half expect it to turn out like either goo or a rock, but we'll see. Maybe it'll be decent, or even good.  I'll let you know when I know.
I'm making homemade pizza and breadsticks today for dinner tonight. I'm excited cause it's been a while since I've made them, and I love those breadsticks. They never rise as much as I hope they will, but I have new yeast this time around, so hopefully they'll turn out a little better. I like doing stuffed crust pizza too, by putting strips of cheese sticks on the edge of the crust and rolling the dough over it. It's so good, I can't wait to eat it.
Take care.

I wanted to mention that I'm finally editing my book. I just dread it until I finally sit down to do it and get in the zone and then it's fun. It's so silly. I can't wait until it's done though. It's gonna take longer to edit then I thought, and then I have to copyright it, and then I gotta publish it, and then I finally get to write some more. I love doing things my own way the whole way through: knitting with no pattern, publishing my own book, learning code for free online. I'm just getting started with my passions and my dreams. I hope my future is as bright as I dream it is. I hope things get better. I hope I can follow through with everything and become a better version of myself. A happier one.

#12 The Quiet Is Loud

-
I never liked the quiet. I mean, obviously I like the quiet to an extent. It means peace, less stress. There's more room for you to exist in your own quiet bubble, doing your own thing. But sometimes . . .  Sometimes the quiet, the dead silence, is so loud. I can physically hear it. It sounds fizzy, almost like the buzz of electricity when I sit too close to the power strip or turn on the old lamp in my room. Sometimes the quiet is so loud it hurts my ears a little. My mind tends to talk a lot, although it's been a little quieter in the last year. It sometimes takes the silence as an invitation to talk on and on and on. It often drives me crazy, but there are also times I just go about my day, doing my own thing while they chatter in the background. On occasion I'll catch a sentence and ponder on what it means, meanwhile the voices have gone silent. I'm not a fan of noise more than a few hours a day, but I also don't feel calm in lonely silence.

#9 Art Website!

-
Hello Again, I've been wanting to put my art out there for years and I finally took the first step today. I made a website and uploaded my art! It's violetsvisions.art if you wanna check it out. Obviously it's just a first step, but it's progress. I hope to have a tiktok page soon and maybe put some of my work up for sale. It's scary, but it's exciting! If you've been wanting to post your art, do it! People on the internet can be mean sometimes, but sometimes they're kind, and if you believe in yourself and your work you'll make it through. Sorry, I don't have too much else to say, I just wanted to gush about that. Have a good night. -V 🩵
