Why do I love baking so much? Or do I actually love baking as much as it seems on Steemit. I have a lot of baking posts, even though majority of my posts are something completely different, but even my profile picture is a bread. And to be honest, I love baking and I love bread and carbs are my best friends.
I haven't been always a good baker. I've learned to bake on a quite late age and I was a bad baker for a good while. However I looked for more information and I practiced, now I see myself as a quite good baker, even though I'm usually making the same kind of bread over and over again with slight changes. I still can post about it, about the same simple things over and over again. That's why I haven't even posted about baking as much as I wanted and to be honest, I haven't posted about baking that much.
I can't show you how I feel when baking. You can't feel the happiness I feel when I bake a good bread. I can't show it to you. I want to post about something I love, but I can't show it to you in the way I want. It makes posting a bit harder and I have to admit, I post about stuff that I don't really care about just to amuse myself. I'm not proud of everything I post.
But one question is, why do I want to prefer baking posts? It's not the only thing I love and it's not the only thing I'm good at, like wanking. I'm proud of many things I do. I could post about fixing my motorboat or building up a shelf, but I'm not posting about that. I don't even want to post about them, even though I could get good posts about all the things I do.
It's not about doing what is best way to earn, as otherwise I wouldn't have done all those Dwarf Fortress posts too. I should do more when I have more time! I know a lot of people posting about things they love rather than things that would seem like the best way to earn money.
One of the reasons might be as I'm usually talking about some of my friends about these subjects. I have a friend I talk about boats, one friend I talk about wanking other manly stuff I do, like working out. This is one place where I might find appreciation to things I do but I can't show off to other people otherwise. I can't show my bread to my friends because.. I want to eat all the bread with my family, not to share them with my friends. On Steemit, things like these can live forever instead of living a vain moment on the lips of my friends.
Remember, whatever you post, don't post it only for money. Don't post it only for others. Post it for yourself too and what is most important: post something you have done. You won't be happy when you are posting something someone else has done.
