⊹⊱"One has to have a passion for what one does in life. If you can find something that gives you that wonderful sense of accomplishment, a feeling that you've created something wondrous, that people are pleased with, I think you've achieved something. And although we realize that cakes are fluff, that's what life is all about. We want some fluff in our life. The moments of joy rather, than heartache. It's a pleasure to do something that gives somebody pleasure."

It's no wonder why she's the best in the business. The Leonardo Da Vinci of cakes. And why I idolize her so.

Everyday Beauty

⊹⊱Following a long, frustrating and tiresome day on campus, I was about to let out a good "Fuck" but refrained from filling the rest of my day with obscenities. Instead, I looked up to the sky and stopped right in the middle of the Humanities bridge. I didn't care about the traffic I was impeding. For in that moment when I stopped to breathe and take in nature's beauty, I lived. Nothing mattered more than myself and that moment. I took another breath and with a content smile, I began to walk towards my last class.

That moment captivated me so much, and I knew I was going to be just fine.
