midnight snack

again with the dreams and the reality and the ever-evolving abyss in between. i just woke up from a dream about chocolate. a dream so realistic and specifically detailed that, when i opened my eyes, my fingers thought they were crumpling up a royal blue tin foil wrapper and i swatted my empty hands toward the trash can several times before i was convinced that i had nothing to throw away.

craving piqued, i tiptoed downstairs in search of some chocolate. i found a brand new bag of dove milk chocolate promises, the kind with inspirational statements printed in italics inside the wrapper. it wasn’t until i had that smooth, sweet perfection on my tongue that i looked at my ‘fortune.” it said, ‘live your dreams‘. coincidence? more like emily + chocolate = destiny.

quote of the day: “what we see depends mainly on what we look for.” – sir john lubbock
