Amazing, the things we get used to, the things we don't realize we're missing out on.

Thank you! Very happy you feel that way! ^^
Seeing as you replied in first person you made me wonder. You're either a smoker yourself, or implying that we are all missing out on things we don't even know we're missing out on because of our lifestyle. I'll go with the latter option. Unsure why, but kind of reminds me of my brother who refused to eat tomatoes for the longest time because of their texture, then fell in love with them when he gave them a second try years and years later. Sometimes the real treasures are right in front of us and we fail to acknowledge them. ^^"
Don't worry about it! Having read, and enjoyed, my work weighs more than any upvote! <3 If anything, I hope you find your way back to read another story ^^
You nailed it: "we are all missing out on things we don't even know we're missing out on" - because it's so easy to stay in the routine we're in. No, I'm not a smoker, and you had me fooled - you write so convincingly from a POV that isn't really your own. That's the hallmark of a true writer!
My husband also refused to try new foods and discovered, in his 20s, all kinds of wonders that he missed out on in his childhood ona farm. Strawberries, for one. He's only recently added onions and tomatoes to his repertoire. But he has NEVER let yogurt touch his lips, and never will. Me, I will try anything - even insects! - but only if they're not moving, and preferably if I can't SEE them (grind them into a casserole).
Thank you again!
Oh wow. I'm curious about the reason behind not trying strawberries. I can't see anything about them as offputting. To me they just look delicious!
What's funny about onions, at least I find it so, is that many people won't have them raw, but will salivate when they are being sauteed/caramelized. It's pretty awesome when you think about it, too. You can take something one doesn't like, do xyz with it, and Voila! People love it! :P
Yeah, I am willing to give everything a shot at least once, too, although I agree with the... alive... insects...
Now that is something I want to try! Figure it tastes like dirt, but am probably wrong?
