Craving

I'm like so pregnant. In the past week or so I have been getting weird cravings for food. Its like i can taste it but yet its not complete. In the past weekend i have like finished a 6 pack of melon flavored vitasoy. Its odd. The entire craving boils down to the first sip. In the first sip the cool liquid hits your tongue and like the craving is so worth is. The as it progresses its seems to loose its "power". The craving makes it taste extra special but its seems to never be able to be fully satisfied.

Is it because we just seem to remember the good things that we encounter? Is it such a folly of mankind to have such selective memory? Or is it just that we seem to give into the slightest desire that we encounter. Do our cravings define us, to shape our personality as we battle to overcome and to shape the kind of person we are by our likes and dislikes? But for one thing, if it does drive us does that mean that it is a good thing to have?

Random thought: Fake melon flavor with milk taste fake, but oh so good

hmmm i think it depends. it's a double edged sword. cos cravings can drive you to succeed in something, but they can become addictions. and if you crave for strange things like sex then of course it's not a good thing to have. haha

hmm and sometimes if you crave too much for one thing, your mind tends to idealise that thing till your expectations actually surpass the satisfaction that it can yield. so when you get whatever it is, it might not be all it's cracked up to be
