I wanted to bake. Being a lover of pastries and cakes, I wanted to bake my own cake or flan or anything. Since there is a sack of flour in the kitchen, I decided to try my inexistent baking skills by baking a loaf of bread. I wanted to make a chocolate-flavored bread.
After looking up a recipe in the cookbook, I promptly bought all the ingredients; and proceeded to mixing them. It's not as easy as it seemed like in the book. First and foremost, I am an idiot when it comes to baking. For instance, I don't know what sifting means.

I know it looks completely unappetizing.

Don't give up. As long as you love baking and know how good food tastes like, just keep trying. No one is born baker. :)
