Life is tough. It always has been and it always will be. Whether its money issues, fears, troubles or knowing that every little thing around you is an illusion and will one day cease to exist, just like yourself, life will not always be smooth sailing. What we choose to do however, is the point here. You can sit back and blame the entire universe or you can change your perspective of the situation (half full or half empty?). Or you can just enjoy comfort food and pretend all your troubles don’t exist (Y).
My personal preference include ice cream (chocolate please), anything chocolate related, chips and basically snacks and other junk food. To quote Kungfu Panda, “you eat when you are upset”. Chocolate triggers the production of serotonin and endorphin and perhaps dopamine in the brain, temporarily inhibiting the perception of pain and makes one feel happier. Sounds a little like abusing drugs and similar substances. Well, dopamine does that,since the consumption of comfort foods is so satisfying and rewarding that the dopamine produced causes the addictive desire to want more and more of the sugary goodness.
Just by writing this post and viewing this photo in full resolution makes my mouth water in anticipation of the mouthful of that chocolate chip and mocha ice cream that only exists as pixels on the computer screen.
The miserable cup noodles that was my lunch on this cloudy Sunday afternoon pales in comparison here. I need a sundae.
