bakeries have the best honey cakes in the world. Yes, this is not an
exaggeration. If you have doubts, please try one, I guarantee that you will be
hooked for life!
This post is about
that honey cake and also about the people in your life who get a honey cake for
you.
I was having a bad day
for many reasons. Experts say that when you are too happy or too sad or too
confused (etc.) you feel like gorging on junk. I agree and felt the same. The honey cake
started playing mind games with me. Now, I had to have it, no escape from
that one! I could have walked down the road and got one for myself. Yes, sure.
But a slight problem, I didn’t feel like getting up from where I was. So I had
to rely on other people to get one for me.
There are two types of
people in your life – one sort who would bring this cake for you without
blinking and the other sort who would go all logical on you.
“It is not good for
you”, “Do you know the calories and carbs and sugar in one cake?” I agree these
are perfectly logical thoughts with my best interest in mind. No offense to
these people in my life at all. They play an important role in making me see
reality when required (...okay, when I want to). But there are certain times
when you need the first sort of people – those who would just accept the way
you are and know when sermons ought to be given and when not! Those with whom
you don’t feel doubtful to share your cravings and needs.
Of course, my parents
fall in that category! My dad came to my rescue this time (like several other
times). Oh, and also, he bought two cakes because he thought one was too small!
So, two honey cakes changed my mood, probably also added a few grams/kilos, but I was more amiable after the cakes, and yes, that counts too! Totally illogical and not correct? Please read my post on Love to get into a debate with yourself on what is right and what is wrong ;-).
Anyway, the point here is, don’t let such people
go! Wrap them in silk and keep them close to you! They are few of the most
precious souls around!
