Recently me and my partner-in-crime discovered the joys of eating....ahem..... deep fried orange mars bars. Willingly, almost every week, we indulge in those unhealthy, chocolaty things that are not only bad news for your throat, but bad for your health in general; since it is a terrible indulgence frowned upon by the people around us, we do it only away from prying (familiar and known) eyes. I am not at all addicted, but I do enjoy a few bars every week, and it is an effective (???!!!) way to de-stress. However, since the impending doom of the coming exams is looming upon us, we gorged on those sinful things in public at the risk of being seen by people known to us. Unfortunately, that actually happened one day, and I was embarrassed despite my usual devil-may-care and what-the-hell attitude. Guess I do care about what people think, which is news, to me at least. Mind you, that is just deep fried orange mars bars, not some sex tape that might kill off my political career.
So what is the moral of the story? If you think that certain behaviors are unacceptable and shameful, never do it even if no one else is looking or will find out later. If you are too ashamed to have your conduct being made known public, then don't do it at all. So I won't. Also, my bad habit will cost me my health, as I found out after my usual treadmill session the other day- I felt so tired I went straight to bed after my shower. The next morning, I threw my secret stash of mars bars away, vowing to break all ties with the delicious but dangerous candy bar but I will need to find a new way to de-stress. They say that smiling can help lower your stress levels and can trick your body into changing your mood for the better. So if you see me smiling for no good reason, I am not insane, just trying to de-stress- and yes, do try to smile back!
