Addictions

Some things are hard to face. Sometimes the only way to face these truths is by trying to eliminate them from your life. So, here's my try at eliminating some of my bad habits and bad addictions. Now, I'm not addicted to drugs or anything like that, thank God, but that doesn't mean I'm not aware of all the little things out there than can get your addicted. You all know what I'm talking about. So, here's my input about what I know is part of my routine, in a bad way. 

1. Chocolate

Yes, you guessed it, chocolate. Probably the most difficult to shake addiction in my life. Chocolate, it'll make me happy, it always gives me what I want. It never talked back to me when I just need to vent. And, it's always there, somewhere, hiding in my cupboard or in the nearest store. There's just so many different kinds that adapt to my needs and my greeds. Who could possibly hate it? (Don't answer that, I know some people that hate chocolate too...)




2. Cookies

Lots and lots of cookies. Sometimes I wonder how fabulous life would be if everything were in cookie form. Cookie dough ice cream is better than regular ice cream. Hash browns look like cookies and are therefore better. Mashed potatoes formed into pancakes look like cookies too, so much better. Then there's cake or muffins in miniature cookie style, better again. Cookie mirrors, fascinating. And come on, you can put anything, anything, into a cookie, i made chocolate, oatmeal, berry, coffee, peanut butter, sugar, butter, other cookies, into cookies, it's all so magical. 


Doesn't this nice mixture look heavenly? I can feel the fat amount growing in my body as I look at the picture.

3. Internet

Yes, even those brutally aware of what they're up against have a moment in life when they realize, that's exactly what is bringing them down. But can we, our generation, really fight against this mega giant? I don't think it's possible to really get ahead in life anymore without the internet in the background, at least generally. Although in my holidays I barely go online, only when I need a healthy change to my routine or when I have to check up something business-style. So, I spend most of my days reading, relaxing, moving about town, swimming or what not. That's not so bad, right? But then again, there are the times when I can't live without the internet. At uni you need it, but sometimes I get so bored all I can do is check my Facebook 50 times in an hour, stalk people online, Stumble somewhere, Google random things. There's just so much you can do, but yet there is never enough. So clearly my life is starting to be ruled by what the internet offers me. I believe what they post online, I trust what they advise, I even sometimes put my credit card numbers up hoping to pay off a debt or some sort. There's just so much!

4. Entertainment

Now what I mean by entertainment is movies and TV shows. No, I say, to most reality shows and talk shows, that's absolutely not what I find entertaining. Some are passable, but don't give me certain racing shows and fighting shows or idol shows or whatever. It's just too stressful! I can't get enough, though, of the exciting thrilling shows I can all watch online or on TV. Thank you, producers, actors, directors and writers of this world for offering me such a grand choice of entertainment, I can constantly watch something new and think about how this or that is great or awful. You know, the usual. When studying I have to watch something to concentrate. I have to do something to get my mind off things. I love the entertainment business. And yes, I just said that.
