Chocolate Theory

Chocolate it yummy. It can also  teach us a thing or two. Now, to some of you, I've explained my Chocolate Theory, but for those who haven't heard it, this post is for you. The Chocolate Theory is sort of a take on life and decision making. Or anything else you want it to represent. Heck, it may be my theory, but it's your life right? And with that, I give you:


The Chocolate Theory


Dark Chocolate

Something people either really like or don't like at all. I am in that second group of people. Dark Chocolate is strange to me. Too bitter, just makes my taste buds frown.  Some people say its healthier, or that its better because it isn't as sweet, but it just leaves me so unsatisfied. The main issue I have with Dark Chocolate, is that I eat it, and I think "Bleh, this really isn't very good, why did I just eat that?" I also tell myself, "Okay Madison, lets get one thing straight: You Dislike Dark Chocolate!" This usually keeps me at bay... for a while. But as time passes, the thought creeps into my mind, "Hey, Dark chocolate isn't thaaaaat bad. In fact, it's pretty good, and most people would say its delicious. Come on, lets give it another chance." And, I do. And, as every other time, it leaves me disappointed. This happens repeatedly, and still goes on today. But no matter how many times I eat it and don't like it, I keep coming back to dark chocolate, trying to convince myself that it is good, or that it will be different this time.


But I know it won't be different. The same thing will happen. Eat, disappointment, leave it alone, give in, second chance (or third, or fourth, or fifth), disappointment. The cycle will just keep repeating itself. 


I encourage you, and myself, to stay away from the dark chocolate things in life. Whether that may be an activity, a relationship, or whatever else comes your way. You know what I'm talking about, the things in life that you keep giving chances to, but in the end are left unsatisfied.

White Chocolate


I absolutely love white chocolate. I think its wonderful. Other people may not care for it, but I thoroughly enjoy it. But, you see, I'll eat it without stopping until I'm sick. This is a problem. No self control when it comes to white chocolate. You may also recognize this type of situation in your life. Where there's something you're convinced you love so much, but ends up making you "sick", and kind of ruins it for you. So I caution you about the White Chocolate situations you may come across. The answer is simple: Portion Size.

Milk Chocolate 


Milk chocolate: the solid staple to my theory. Milk chocolate is always there, always something to fall back on. It may not be as appealing as white chocolate, but there's no denying that its GOOD. It's sweet, without being on overkill. It's there as comfort in the lowest of times, and there as a reward in the highest of times. It also helps you strive to achieve goals, to help you become a better you. Of course, too much "togetherness" time and it might become a bit of a nuisance, but nevertheless, you love it. 


And that leaves me with the Milk Chocolate things in life. Something or someone that's always there for you, to help, to comfort, to reward. Just the right balance for what you personally need.




But how do we determine what in life falls under these three categories? Lets face it, Life doesn't look like this: 

Life looks more like this: 

But the more you recognize the dark, white, and milk chocolate, the easier it gets to tell which is which.
