Are you ‘apple pie’?
Apple pie from the consumer’s perspective
Remember the apple pie you’ve had on that really rough day? The one where you felt, 'Damn, I’m so hopeless and there’s nothing I can do about it’. And then you randomly decide to enter this random café and order their best selling apple pie. Or was it that you finally decided to try it months after your friend suggested it. Anyway, it has now become the one thing that you have whenever you’re sad or depressed or whatever. But if you’re not a big fan of apple pie and don’t get me just read apple pie as your personal favorite comfort food. How could I write about it? Well, I’m apple pie and this is how one of many apple pies feels.
Apple pie is something that you really love to eat. It’s also something that you cherish and just not have on a daily basis. Can you even imagine having apple pie multiple times every day? It just won’t have it’s delicate charm if you do.
It’s exciting at times and most definitely boring, but apple pie listens to you and it understands. You know it cares for you, even if it doesn’t show. Sometimes just having apple pie even gives you the answers you need. See how nifty apple pie can be?
But not everyone remains sad all of the time. The sun still shines at least once, even if there’s been a rainstorm or it’s been forty days of night wherever you are. And when the clouds clear up, you just don’t have the need to eat apple pie. He nags at you to have one slice, maybe, but it’s just a voice and it’d be okay to leave apple pie alone for a while since you’ve just had it.
But that’s apple pie. You can never have too much or you’ll get sick of it. Maybe that’s what makes apple pie special, it only works when you feel the need for it.
