Justified Desserts

Do you know how big of a brat you are? Check it out. Most wouldn’t like to admit it, but there is a freedom on the other side of calling that spade a spade, like no other!

 

So I’m walking down the street yesterday and lo and behold out of nowhere, a sugar craving strikes. What’s a girl to do when she’s committed herself to being sugar-free?

 

Enter scene, Inner Brat.

 

It’s not fair. My boyfriend didn’t want to have sex last night…I’m feeling overwhelmed getting this app project completed…someone hacked into our website and is committing fraud in our name, how could the web host have screwed up like that…I freakin’ deserve something sweet! And there it was…justified desserts. Life is hard, it wasn’t fair; I deserved ice cream. It makes perfect sense to me.

 

It was so much fun to be a fly on the wall of my mind. In that moment it became hysterical to watch how my mind was working to get out of it, calling in the young and bratty troops. A while ago I’d have been annoyed for having to deal with a brat too, but instead I found myself entertained and could laugh at this inner dialogue.

 

It also felt good to recognize my feelings without the justifications and without the dessert.
