today i saw a chocolate cupcake. chocolate with sprinkles. it looked deliciously tantalizing.
i wanted one.
the thing is, i already had one of these cupcakes on sunday, and despite it looking delicious, it actually tasted quite bad.
so today, when she brought the cupcakes in, i told myself that i would not take one. i was satisfied with the cookies i had just devoured and the chocolate milk i had just drunk.
but as everyone else took one, i couldn't help but glance at the box that held the cupcakes. they were so alluring. "eat me. eat me." they cried.
so i took a cupcake. but the first bite was just as horrible as i had anticipated.
i stuffed the cupcake into my milk carton and threw it away after class.

a small part of my life is currently like today's cupcake escapade. i like where i am, i don't want things to be different at all. and yet, the cupcake is so alluring. i know that once the cupcake is in my grasp, i won't want it at all...but i still want it.
cryptic, i know.

a small world it is indeed Lydia. Thanks for dropping by and tagging my site!
The analogy is strange yet kind of brilliant. Illustrating life questions by alluding to food is always relevant. ya, you are quite the posting machine...
