There are many things I love in this world. As I am a very loving and accepting person. Not to boast, but I think it is something to be proud of. Recently there is one thing I realize I love more and more each day: food.

Almost everytime we go out with friends, where do we go? We go, “get some food”.

Once you get somewhere, you chat about the menu items while imagining what it will taste like. Then, you will slip into a conversation about favorite foods and where you find the best eats.

Some people might even bond on the type of foods they like whether it’s pickiness or cultural preferences. I mean, people who eat the same foods tend to develop relationships. I know nobody likes dating someone who is super picky when they eat everything in the entire world. Recently I have met a lot more people who dislike the same foods as me and I feel like I can connect to them on a completely new level.

Ever since I was born, I hated tomatoes and anything related to it. It wasn’t until about two years ago that I started enjoying pizza. When there is too much sauce on it, I can hardly choke it down. That is the same with spaghetti sauce and everyone thought that was weird, but once I got to college nobody could afford spaghetti sauce anymore and they claimed to have never liked sauce on their spaghetti because butter is the best way to go anyway. Even though I know that some people's parents probably forced them to eat a lot of these foods so they had to pretend they liked them. It was weird for them that my parents didn’t force me to eat all foods that their parents forced them to eat.

Anyway, I just wanted to share a few foods I am most thankful for: pasta, potatoes, chicken, cheese, doughnuts, berries, cashews, cinnamon toast crunch, coconut, eggs, rice, stuffing, burgers, coffee, tea, cake, soup, zucchini, asparagus, cookies, ice, carrots, brown sugar, butter, bread, ice cream, turkish delight, balsamic dressing, veggie burgers, protein bars, pepperoni, sausage, and more.

I think I am going to start eating healthier though. Just thought I would get out my last words to say goodbye to a few of these foods that I have come to love in these weeks of stress eating.
