Goodness comes in many forms, but this just makes me stop and reflect on how beautiful our lives are. I literally bawled the entire time.
"getting over people is a definite process. just like getting over a certain period in your life or tiring of a certain food item or object that you always thought you would like. i think it’s sorta like when i stopped liking nutella on everything. sure, it’s delicious. but when i got to the bottom of things, i realized nutella is actually a pretty crappy product. it promises all the deliciousness of chocolate with the health benefits of peanut butter. but it actually sucks. and i put on a lot of weight because i was eating my feelings. that’s what getting over a person feels like. you first only dwell on the things you miss. for me nutella had the best taste ever. you deny that you have a problem getting over this person and you pretend that you can moderately see that person “just be friends.” i told myself i would only eat nutella on days where i felt happy. and then finally you begin to accept the bad, and accept that this person that you had such high hopes for was actually a major loser. just like people, nutella suddenly became my worst nightmare. i saw all the fat on the label and i realized that i felt better when i wasn’t consuming it, but exercising my brains out. and suddenly. slowly but surely that person doesn’t hit you the same way before. like you finally see who they really are, and they aren’t as impressive anymore. wow you say. sure enough, poor nutella. i tried some on my bread a couple days ago. and man, it just didn’t do the same thing it did for me when i was depressed and lonely. now it’s all about that avocado. oh avocado how you look at me so lovingly with your healthy fats and good omegas. slathered on bread and perfect at this time of season when i need to be my best. i think the people in my life who i should never “get over” should be the avocados in my life"
