...is art to be practiced over and over again. Be conscious enough to tell that you’re banging your head against the monitor for nothing. A walk, a coffee will do much better. On a separate note, coffee shops right before closing time have a special kind of atmosphere.

... and also brownies, blondies, danishes, cake slices, etc, etc. There’s nothing more exciting that walking into a coffee shop and seeing a fully stacked pastry case. When it comes to picking something though, that’s when it gets difficult. Everything is just so BIG. I want a cookie, but like a small cookie, and this one is the size o...

Leaning into extremities is easy. Tipping over or not gaining enough momentum is easy. Finding balance is hard. Feeling balance is harder. Balancing without giving it much thought is the hardest.
