Sweetcorn

It's so cheap during the summer season.
I remember back during summers when I was still a little kid, one corn cob would be a simple lunch. mum would microwave it, put a little butter on it and it would be delicious.
I can still remember the feeling of sitting on a corner of the kitchen counter, nibbling at it. By the way, I always ate it very neatly, row by row. I remember my mum standing in the kitchen, surrounded by the bright blue cupboard doors and I remember how bright our entire house seemed.

Today, for lunch I microwaved a corn cob for lunch and i suddenly got hit by this feeling of nostalgia. It was like his image, this moment, this memory, this feeling was suddenly suffocating me. So much so, that I took one bite and burst into tears.
How comical.
YAY sopntaneous crying.

I've started to realise how much of a cliche I've slowly and steadily become.

    i think living alone is taking a toll on you. get outside more and surround yourself with friends who can make you happy!
