Tired eyes, grumbling stomach, unbearable craving, heavy shoulders from the weight of my backpack. Frazzled brain, lethargic movements, struggling to get the key in the lock. Get inside and kick off my blue and purple plaid Keds. My orange, high school worn, JanSport backpack sails through the air and onto the couch. My legs carry me over to the freezer and as the freezer door is finally open, my eager fingers grasp the thing that has been driving me to get through lecture and lab today. The luscious, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramello bar of milk chocolate. Frozen in the freezer is the best way to eat it, because the outside is slightly crunchy while the inside is the smooth flowing caramel that tempts me all through class. My relationship with this bar of chocolate is, safe to say.... Obsessive and probably bizarre. I think about it all day, even when I am seconds away from letting my droopy eyelids finally stay shut during class. I will still run out to my car just to get home one minute faster to get that delectable, mouth watering, eat the whole thing in 2 minutes if I'm not careful, caramel chocolate bar into my mouth. I used to love Skittles and Starbursts. However, in my old age of 22 I have switched over almost entirely to chocolate, with the exception of a succulent Swedish Fish on occasion. What can I say? I have become my mother! Why not obsess over something that brings such contentment and serenity into your life after a hard day at school...or work...or shopping? I like to say:
"When life gets hard to stand....grab a bar of chocolate."
You had it right all along mother.
