like adding cream to a soup
Life was not always this way. Sure, you wake up every day wishing for a bit more sleep. You wonder if the day will be much different than the day before. Usually it all just blends in together, like adding cream to a soup. My mind wanders. It was a Tuesday, like any other. I was nursing a hangover and working on my prep list before our inevitable hell-hole of a lunch rush. If there are two things most people know about me is this: My fear of commitment and my distaste for candy. That was until I saw the brown package. We get packages all the time. This one felt special. James, my co-worker, ripped the box open exclaiming he was trying a new brand of gummy bears, and I immediately lost interest. "Candy? Jesus.." I moved back into my ebb and flow. Meanwhile, looking over at my co-workers reaching their hands deep into this 5lb bag of gummy bears like it was kettle corn at a state fair. I resisted. I'll admit it. I was proud. Too proud. I waited so no one would see me, slipped my hand into the bag and pulled out four colorful, gummy bears. With one motion, I popped them all in my mouth and begin to chew with the expectation of mediocrity. Only this... this was something different. Everything was changing -- my world, turning on its head. At first I was angry. "It can't be! It's candy! You don't like candy!" But alas, my heart grew softer. Something inside me began to change. Bursts of real fruit flavor. Incredible mouth-feel. Pleasant after-taste. It was this day that everything changed, and I am a better man for it.
