Once upon a time, I had a cake but I wasn't satisfied then - I wanted the option of eating it also. At that time, I thought that savoring my cake was more meaningful than just plain staring at it.
But now that I've had the opportunity to take a bite of the cake, I'm not sure whether I want to continue stuffing my face with it.
(A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips, perhaps?)
Come to think of it, the taste wasn't that divine either.
And now I'm beginning to yearn for the sight of my beautiful, used-to-be whole, oh-so-perfect cake.
Will I ever get a chance to have my cake and eat it too?
Only time will tell.
Until then, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled.
If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you."
- Lao Tzu

"Choose what you like; like what you choose"
That was what a friend told me eons ago.
Sounds simple and yet very meaningful.
Since we (almost) always have choices in life but once a selection is made, it can be quite difficult to un-do.
Which is the reason why one should choose wisely and consider all the options available.
Although sometimes not making a choice is indirectly a choice by itself.
There is no guarantee that your favorite will still be one that you prefer exactly 1 year, 3 months and 17 days down the line.
Circumstances may change, let alone people.
Just because I love Haagen Daaz's Cookies & Cream to death, doesn't mean that I am obliged to go with that option each and every time I reach for the dessert menu.
Do what you think is best for you now, no matter what others say. Because at the end of the day, you will be the one stuck with your choice.
After all, we are all selfish in our own little ways.
"Life is a sum of all your choices." - Albert Camus
