I have been cooking a lot, eating a lot, doing embroidery, self care and less socializing.

Loving and being loved too.

And overall i feel like my life has improved. I spent so much time being responsible for other people's well being I hardly did anything for me. And it was time to slow down and live.

I think I am learning to finally let go of my need to control and perfect my journey. The clichè is that you are supposed to enjoy the journey and obsess less over goals but I think there is meaning to be found in immersing into the journey, becoming a part of it instead of a doer, a traveler, a subject always attached to verbs.

A better way to explain it would be how some artists get so involved in their work that it no longer feels like they are doing work. It creates itself. They simply channel an energy which was already within whatever elements of reality they are attaching to, it was already in the paint, in their memories, in their feelings, the brush and the fabric..etc. and it all looks so effortless.

The Japanese call that finding your ikigai.

Here is bunch of foods I made and ate over the past days because I love eating and this place needs some flavor.
