Dear Diary,

Today was a bit different. Mom is not feeling well, so I cooked for us. Nothing special, just simple sayur asem and fried egg. It’s my favorite combo hahaha. Simple food but it always makes me happy.

I didn’t expect I would actually enjoy cooking this much. Before, I thought cooking was hard and tiring. But now it feels fun. I like the process,  cutting vegetables, waiting for it to cook, tasting the soup. It feels nice.

I’m happy because I’m starting to like being in the kitchen. It makes me excited to try other menus soon. Maybe I’ll try something new next time.

I just hope Mom gets better tomorrow. And I’m kinda proud of myself today.
