Addiction

We all have our addictions. Some are harmless. Some are harmful. Addiction is something I could not even begin to understand and consequently explain. I do not understand and accept alcohol and smoking addiction. I tried drinking but not smoking but I do not find it necessary to be part of my everyday living. I understand people's addiction to coffee. They need it to stay awake or to be alert at work. People ask me why I do not even bother drinking coffee in the morning. They ask me if I don't need something warm in the morning. I say no. I do not need anything to be awake in the morning or any warmth in my stomach. In the morning, I need to decide that I would be focused and alert in my job when I go in the morning. Coffee only makes my breath smell funny. So no, thank you. Some people's addiction is on books. They love to read. Read like it's nobody's business. They buy books like there's no tomorrow. And when the mall is on sale, you will find them in a bookstore, not on a clothing store or shoe store. My addiction, however, is really bad. I am addicted to chocolates. When I see it in our house, I will eat it. I won't stop even if I get pimples and get fat. I can't seem to stop myself. I want to get over it.

But there are some addictions which seem to be harmless at first where you find yourself dead after. Read: Paul Walker. Condolences for his family and friends and to me! He was a car enthusiasts but he ended dead in a car crash. Life is too ironic sometimes. You will never know where you'll end up. Worse, you don't know when you will end.
