    Possibly the cruelest irony of adulthood is that autonomy comes with a shit load of terms and conditions.

    For instance, I could eat cookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day if I wanted to. But it would result in diabetes, obesity, and eventually death. So yes, theoretically I could do it. But not if I want to live for very long.

    Damn shame too because I have a weakness for chocolate chip cookies.

      It’s brutal, isn’t it?

      When you realize that your parents also wanted to eat cookies and Ruffles all the time too, but they didn’t want to die early and are just making you eat healthy so you don’t die early.

      Ugh…

      Unless you’re metabolically lucky. I’ve been eating whatever I want for decades, and I’m in excellent health and never get fat. In fact I just had a checkup this morning lol. Just random genetics. I shouldn’t gloat but it’s fucking awesome!
