From the moment she had been able to help out in the kitchen, Alfina had loved baking and cooking. Taking ingredients from completely separate components and turning them into one cohesive, and delicious, meal? It was nothing short of a passion for her! The textures and the smells, the careful balancing of stirring just enough, seeing the crispy and fluffy results, and the smiling faces that came after… it was all enough to keep her loving it.
Yet, all it took was a few mean-spirited boys to bring her passion crashing to the ground. Constructive critiques were natural in life, and she could handle those. However, she had never faced such harsh criticism in her work until those three had come into the bakery and obliterated the thing she took such pride in.
Now she was doubting everything she thought she knew about herself. She had never thought that she would be one to easily succumb to such thoughts, but they were shockingly strong. She quit working at the bakery and turned her half-hearted attention to her mother’s family business.
It had been a few weeks since then. Alfina.. was not impressed with her new line of work. It was nice to see her extended family more regularly at least. Processing meats and tanning hides was honorable work, but it was difficult to get herself excited about it. She would catch herself daydreaming with her hide only half-stretched on the drying rack, fingers idly shifting as she thought about sprinkling salt into a bowl of flour. Then she would snap out of it, and the smell of sweet breads would fade under the intensity of the shop’s pungent aroma of raw meats.
The sudden shifts would make her feel like crying.
Yet, the thought of returning to baking was too intimidating. The jeers of those boys were still sharp in her mind despite the passage of time. Previous customers let her know they missed her, but it just wasn’t enough to break through the wall of fear that had built up. She had never faced such a feeling before.
She hated it.. But, for now, she would give up her passion for the safer route. Surely that would be better for everyone involved.
