Goodbye Letter: Coca Cola Addiction
Dear Coca-Cola,
It is upon extensive self-exploration that I decide to kick you out of my life, yet once again. I can already imagine the smirk on your face as you start reading but, trust me, your tyrannical rule in my life has come to its end. You have always demanded a dominant presence in my existence, to the extent you are a drug that I ever needed my fix. I have repetitively forgotten the bleak future our relationship has on my health on account of your disarming qualities and colorful nature.
First and foremost, I acknowledge that I have always been a sweet tooth, as even my most memorable moments are punctuated with sugar. You made sure that whether it was a barbecue, Christmas, or family Sunday lunches, a bottle of Coca-Cola had to be present. You disguised yourself as a symbol of love, and naively, I made you my favorite drink. My eyes opened to your toxic nature once I was diagnosed with borderline diabetes. Despite my doctor recommending I cut sugar intake drastically, you made it your mission always to lure me to your path. Weaning off other sugary food was smooth, but I felt queasy whenever I opted not to take you.
Severally, I have broken our relationship, but there you always were, present at every turn. I am amazed by my gullibility and fragility to regularly accept you back in my life with the most straightforward reasons. As callous as you are, you planted a seed on my mind that I could use you in moderation. The shimmer of good I felt was ever at the expense of my health. I certainly, had no chance then, but now I see you with a different lens. I see you for what you are, a pest. Ironical for something that is used as an expression of love and family.
Undoubtedly, just like we forget the brutal winter with the blossoms of spring, I know my brain would, at times, intensify its cravings for you. For sure it will not be easy and, similarly, I will miss you. Nonetheless, it is inevitable our relationship to end. I am letting you go Coca-Cola.
Yours Truly,
