A sweet craving ||17/01/2025 || 10% beneficiary to steem-nations

Holidays have a way of speeding by, don’t they? It feels like just yesterday my exams ended and no my break has flown past in the blink of an eye.
Starting Monday I will be heading back to university ready to jump back into classes and the whirlwind of routine.

Amidst this calm something unexpected happened. Out of nowhere I had this overwhelming craving for something sweet. It was not just a passing thought it was one of those cravings that you simply can not ignore.

I did not feel like cooking or baking so I decided to indulge myself and ordered a cake. Yes a whole cake.... Sometimes treating yourself is all you need to lift your mood.
Now I was just continuously checking the minute that when did my cake arrived. The excitement started the moment the delivery arrived. The cake box was beautifully packed in an elegant floral bag.. adding a touch of charm to the experience. It felt special almost like an unplanned celebration.

As I opened the box I was greeted by the sight of a perfectly round chocolate-frosted cake. Its smooth... but one thing was that i mistakenly put my hand on the box so that its shape will a little get bad. but no matter because i have to eat it not put it for showpiece..

With a knife in hand I took that first slice. as I took my first bite I was transported to dessert heaven. The cake was moist.. the frosting creamy and the balance of sweetness just perfect. Each bite felt like a warm hug, comforting and indulgent at the same time. yess it was perfect..

In that moment I realized how much I had needed this little break. a chance to pause and enjoy something purely for myself. After all, self-care is not always about big gestures it can be as simple as sitting with a slice of cake and savoring every bite.

And for today, this chocolate cake was my moment of joy. A little indulgence, a little sweetness, and a lot of gratitude for the chance to slow down and simply enjoy the present.

THANKS TO ALMIGHTY ALLAH FOR EVERYTHING.
