The comfort of ice cream and the fight within

Chapter 64

My favorite dessert is ice cream, specifically strawberry. There's something about its sweet, slightly tart flavor that brings a sense of comfort and calm. After a day filled with sorrows, regret, and loss, it has always been the one thing that helps me recover. I know it sounds trivial, even childish, but for me, it's much more than just a dessert.

It's crazy how much love I have for something that seems so insignificant to many, something that's just used for momentary pleasure or to soothe a current heartbreak. To me, it's comfort. When I have no one beside me, when I find very few words to explain what I may be feeling, the situation becomes easier with a lick of my popsicle or a bite from my tub. The cold, creamy texture provides a solace that I can't find elsewhere.
