I love avocados. There, I said it. Avocados are amazing. They can come in so many different forms. You can mix your avocados together with a couple more ingredients to make guacamole. You can mix it with hummus to get avocado hummus. You can eat it plain. You can eat it salted. Heck, there is a whole restaurant devoted to avocados. I love avocados so much, and I believe that avocados feel the same way towards me. They have truthfully taught me so many life lessons.

1. The wait can be very worth it in the end

I'm not always the most patient person, but avocados taught me to wait it out. I often find myself craving avocados, and I often buy two ripe and two unripe avocados so I can have one or two the day I buy them and then I have two for later. But if you cave in and eat those avocados too early they don't taste great because they aren't perfectly ripe. When you wait just days longer that avocado will be at its peak taste.

2. Find someone that loves you as much as you love avocados and in the same way

True avocado lovers love avocados in all shapes and forms. Whether it is all dressed up (guacamole) or au naturel. Whether it is salty or spread thin (on a piece of toast). I truly love avocados so much so that they taught me that I need to find people that love me like I love avocados--unconditionally.

3. The most beautiful are those that shine from within and not just have a shiny exterior

Some avocados don't look absolutely beautiful on the outside, but that doesn't mean that they aren't going to taste amazing. The only way to truly tell if an avocado is beautiful is to open it. Then you get a full glimpse of its beauty.

4. Nobody, not even your closest friends or family members can be trusted 100% of the time

Trust me, they will steal that perfectly ripe avocado that you had been waiting for four days to eat. Sometimes even worse is when they take that guac that you had saved from the night before. Don't be this person! Get your own avocados, and don't steal mine! Or I will be very sad.

5. Sometimes you have to work hard to get what you love

Sometimes getting an avocado ready to eat is a harder process than it should be. If you are unable to afford one of those amazing avocado gadget that help you prepare your avocados it can be extra tricky. I've learned that the hard work that you put into it is so worth it though. There is nothing better than the satisfaction that comes with sitting down and eating your scrumptious avocado that you struggled to peel, pit, and slice.
