Hope you enjoy~","content":" **Bitter Sweet**\n\nI think life itself has a taste.\n\nIt is designed by our minds, and the way our lives are lived.\n\nIt makes me think if heaven and hell are simply metaphors for such a thought.\n\nTo me, I taste bitter sweet.\n\nIt's not to say I don't taste other things, but it is the flavor the lingers most\n\nThere are good flavors and bad ones, but they are still a part of our pallet regardless\n\nTo me, bitter sweet is a terrible thing to taste.\n\nBitter has a long flavor that stains your mouth, and tolls your body\n\nSweet only makes me wish I wasn't tasting bitter.\n\nI've tasted many things; savory. spiciness, bland, sour, and simply nothing.\n\nSavory is my favorite.\n\nIt is the prime opposite of bitter, and only enhances other flavors.\n\nThe sweets feel more natural and welcomed.\n\nSometimes I ask myself If tasting savory all the time is a sin\n\nI ask myself if tasting bitter is truly tasting.\n\nI ask myself if tasting anything is learning.\n\nI ask myself if tasting nothing is dying.\n\nFlavors get better as you age.\n\nA sort of reverse mechanic, as opposed to aging ingredients.\n\nBut it begs the question\n\nDo you have the right ingredients?\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
