With a bar of chocolate at hand, the chocolaty buzz I get only masks the sad reality of life... As the taste of that last piece fades from my mouth, I realize how the "little things in life" just aren't enough to keep me happy when there is so much to stress over. They say even a forced smile will make a person feel better because it is subconsciously linked with better times, and it does, but at what point does forcing smiles at bad times, make smiles subconsciously link to bad times. My chocolate all of a sudden, although sweet in my mouth, doesn't seem so great anymore. My chocolate is starting to link with bad times, it's only a matter of time before my smile does too, and then, I fear I may never be happy again.
