Abstaining from Soy Sauce

It's a terrible shame when there's a perfectly good thing, and then something is added and then the good thing goes bad.

It's like having a big plate of donuts, and a bottle of soy sauce comes along and pours their content all over what was once glorious; leaving it to be desecrated and stained with yuckiness.

There's no way to get a replacement plate of donuts. You can get another plate of completely different food, but it's just not the same as the donuts you love dearly. And let's face it, you'd rather go hungry if it means that one day you can be with the donuts and not have to be scared of soy sauce. 

But by going hungry, you will suffer gravely. And to be without donuts or food in general, is a bad thing for your health and heart.

And didn't the soy sauce technically invade? What right did it have to be in your food? NONE. The food knows that something is up, and all the waiters in the restaurant are laughing at the expense of you and your donuts. 

You're in ruins... And all you can do is abstain from the soy sauce. 

It's probably for the best anyway; soy sauce tastes so bitter and it never belongs with donuts. Plus you don't need the extra sodium in your life.

That was an excerpt from a diary entry I tried to write last night. I've never been one to keep a constant diary, but last night, after a terrible afternoon, I felt I needed to just let it go. 

Aggression can be channeled into different things, depending on what you have. Some people I know use their aggression in productive ways; I just either eat/punch the wall/write diary entries about the despicableness of soy sauce. 

It's a good feeling to let your innermost insecurities out onto paper. Quite exhilarating indeed. And afterwards, it's either fun to burn or it's interesting to look back at from the future. But if the insecurity faces you everyday and it's stopping you from being 99% happy (nothing we feel is 100%), then you've got to do something. Start a revolution if necessary. Do what it takes to ensure you don't have your life ruined by a bottle of soy sauce. 

And if perchance, I have offended (this post + diary excerpt were all aimed at someone), think but this, and all is mended (to some extent anyway):

Everyone faces their own metaphorical bottle of soy sauce everyday. Whether it's a bully, coping with loss, an illness, a broken heart, insecurity or a third world problem, it's still there; pouring the distastefulness all over what should be good things in life. It's not fair to let others endure soy sauce against their will. And it's not fair to let the bitterness continue. Whether you choose to help the problem in one way or another is up to you. But when you intentionally allow things to escalate; then there's a level of hypocrisy behind any statements saying you care. 

If you have to share the bitterness with someone; work through it together. All the strongest things generally involve the word 'united' (United Kingdom, Manchester United). Nothing successful involves the word 'isolated loners'.
