Lowered Expectations

I have 2 pieces of cake.

Piece 1 has colors you never expected. they look and even feel surreal. the slice created perfectly and inside you find these layers that make your mouth water. each layer has enough to make you never want more or less. the consistency is quality. the taste makes you feel like you'll long for it. its smell lures you and reminds you of it anywhere.
you think: "whoever made this definitely knew it was for me."

Piece 2 is wrapped and warped. the colors are there, but are you sure they are real? you can't really tell, but it looks fine. the slice is not what you really thought would satisfy, but you take it anyway, and the layers, well, there aren't any. but I'll have it because its all I can get. its one big layer with a bunch of mess in it. it kind of falls apart in front of you, slowly, and you realize you don't want it anymore, but the taste reminds you of something, but you set the thought aside because you are in it now and you must finish.
you think: "I'll take this because I want it."


I have 2 desires:

Desire 1 is to find a person with colors I never expected. they look and feel surreal. this person is created perfectly and inside I find these layers that make my mouth water. each layer has enough to make me never want more or less. their consistency is quality. their taste would make me feel like I would long for them. their smell lures me and reminds me of them anywhere.
I think: "whoever made them definitely knew he was for me."

I'll take it because I want it, even though there is something better.

  1. i know thats what you think im doing.

    but im not.
    im still looking at both pieces.


    and sometimes, all that second piece needs is a little fixing up. some fresh color and a little more baking. it might turn out better and it might not. a 50/50 chance. But nonetheless, it must be given a chance.

  2. I took a bite of the wrong cake just recently.
    It was delicious. Mouth watering delicious.

    But God told me to put it back in the oven,
    so I kicked and screamed, but eventually listened anyway.

    Now I'm just really hoping it will rise up and mature to it's fluffier, more fulfilling state so that when it's ready to be taken out of the oven, and I'm ready with some milk, I can have a bite again!!!

    Because, honestly,
    I don't want any other cake.
    I don't even think I'm in the mood for cake right now.
