A while back I had another episode where I was lonely and vulnerable and I went crying to my best friend about the situation I was in. The same old situation where I like a boy who I KNOW doesn't like me and I KNOW I shouldn't like him, but I'm already invested so I just keep getting hurt. Here is a little bit of our conversation... it was TOO GOOD to not share with the world!

Best Friend: "Oh Breaker Breaker, I'm sorry! You know how when you're sad, eating makes you feel better? especially when it's something bad like oreos or something? Like for me, when I'm sad, I eat oreos. I know that they're bad for me, but the thought of eating them makes me happy. Sometimes when I eat them, they make me feel better. So I keep returning. But sometimes they just make me feel worse. They hurt my stomach and I wonder why I like them so much. But the next time that I'm sad, what do I want? Oreos! I think that (said boy) is your oreo."

Stupid Me: "Ugh... you are right, and I hate it! But I don't want to NOT eat my oreos, cuz what if one day the oreos are ALL GONE, and I never get any oreos again?"

Best Friend: "Then your stomach won't hurt and you'll find out that you actually like nutter butters much better anyway. But until then you can't help it, you just want a big stack of oreos and I think that's ok. But it's always good to be self aware, and to realize that the oreos aren't the problem. Cookies aren't even the problem. Why you feel that you always need a cookie is the problem."

My best friend is the wisest woman I know... so now, who can tell me why I always need a cookie? :)
