breakfast


It’s tiring, waking up in the morning with a monster eating you up controlling you. killing you slowly While you sit there and stare at your breakfast and realize that you should eat and that food IS good, but that monster holds you back. So you fight it. You take one bite, another, another until the growl of the monster is gone and you realize that you are in control and the monster is a disease nothing more and that you can fight it and that you will win.
