Bittersweet

My favourite word. Somehow sweet stuff - here I refer to everything from the slightly more expensive dark chocolate bar to life as a whole - are better only when there's a bitter undertone to each bite. Cause its only when the tongue tastes the cruel bitter that it begins darting round on an unending quest to seek the sweetest parts hidden within layer after layer of bitter mess. And when the tongue finally seeks out the sweetest portions, the bliss of the melting sweetness moves the corners into an inevitable smile.

Today was like a well filled to the brim with the bitterest concoction ever, and me having been dunked head first inside.

But I searched hard enough, smothered by the bitter, and eventually found the sweet.

  1. Sometimes when its all over, you can look back and say that it was not that hard after all... God looks after you =) Just leave it to Him cos He takes care of you.

    P.S. Eh... dark chocolate is only bittersweet of cocoa content is less than 70% otherwise... its just... solidified cocoa powder which is not chocolate.

  2. Cocoa powder is the thing worth paying for!
