Bitter Sweet

I think life itself has a taste.

It is designed by our minds, and the way our lives are lived.

It makes me think if heaven and hell are simply metaphors for such a thought.

To me, I taste bitter sweet.

It's not to say I don't taste other things, but it is the flavor the lingers most

There are good flavors and bad ones, but they are still a part of our pallet regardless

To me, bitter sweet is a terrible thing to taste.

Bitter has a long flavor that stains your mouth, and tolls your body

Sweet only makes me wish I wasn't tasting bitter.

I've tasted many things; savory. spiciness, bland, sour, and simply nothing.

Savory is my favorite.

It is the prime opposite of bitter, and only enhances other flavors.

The sweets feel more natural and welcomed.

Sometimes I ask myself If tasting savory all the time is a sin

I ask myself if tasting bitter is truly tasting.

I ask myself if tasting anything is learning.

I ask myself if tasting nothing is dying.

Flavors get better as you age.

A sort of reverse mechanic, as opposed to aging ingredients.

But it begs the question

Do you have the right ingredients?
