When life gives you...
Basically, these are things that make you cringe in distaste, clench your fists in frustration, clamp your mouth shut to prevent the stream of vulgarities from spewing from your mouth, close your eyes to stop yourself from giving death stares. You reach for your razor / pills / alcohol / cigarette with trembling hands. You feel a deep sense of despair that cannot be articulated. You look, but you can't see. You think, but the thoughts are seemingly uncontrollable.
Apples (one of my favourite fruits)
These are the pleasant things in life. Things that make you smile effortlessly, fill you up with so much joy and contentment. Your heart races and soars, and breaks into a little tune. You dance a little, twirl a little, even though you don't know how to do either. The world becomes such a beautiful place, and life becomes worth living. Ah, the stars are aligned.

In life, you have both. And you probably need both.
Do we live for the sole purpose of pursuing pleasure (i.e., hedonism)? Or is life meant to bring us so much more than just simply happiness?
Why lemons and apples? What is one without the other?
*~*~*~
So, how has life been for me?
Simply put, like a glass of apple tea with a tinge of lemon.
On the whole, I have much to be thankful for - even during the most sour moments, I learn something about life, about others, about myself.
I am but a _______.

And I've never loved a darker blue
Than the darkness I have known in you, own from you
You, whose heart would sing of anarchy
You would laugh at meanings, guarantees, so beautifully
When our truth is burned from history
By those who figured justice in fond memory, witness me
Like fire weeping from a cedar tree
Know that my love would burn with me
We'll live eternally
Cause there's no better love
That beckons above me, there's no better love
That ever has loved me, there's no better love
So darling, feel better love
Cause there's no better love
That's laid beside me, there's no better love
That justifies me, there's no better love
So darling, darling, feel better love
Feel better love
- Hozier, Better Love
Hozier, how can I ever stop loving you?
