Subtle Vanilla

Life is an Ice Cream.

It comes in different flavors.


There is that subtle vanilla.
Plain and simple, yet effortlessly stands out.
Its simplicity attracts and its plainness is greatly appreciated.
It melts slowly compared to others, and the least messy of all.








Vanilla is definitely not me.
I knew however, of people who resembles vanilla ice cream.
They are the kind of people that everyone just have to love.
The kind of people who gets people to admire them without even doing anything.
The kind who stands out without even trying.
Simple and plain, they radiate in this messy world.
Secure and confident, vanillas do not need to step on anyone to succeed.
Straightforward, vanillas are honest and pure.
Its white color and plain taste is the easiest to mix with other flavors.

Vanillas however are really rare nowadays.
I am lucky to have met and known several vanillas in my lifetime.
I was too mean however, to have messed things up with them.
I took advantage of their "whiteness", messed with them, dirtied them.
In the end, just when I could have used an honest help,
I realized, that I already pushed them away.

Un-Melt the Ice Cream!

Life is an ice cream.
That is my philosophy.
Yes, it’s not “like” an ice cream, it’s an ice cream.
After 18 years, I’ve finally made my own understanding of life,
And who knew it would revolve on something this tasty?
