The last year or so, I have stayed away from sweets. Not entirely, but I have veered towards the savory. I used to be known for having a major sweet tooth. But perhaps because the past year has been very difficult, my taste buds changed a bit. I don’t know what really would be the cause/effect here, but I know my tastes changed.
Then I had surgery, and my sweet tooth came roaring back. I ordered four different pints of ice cream, as well as snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies.
Then, I just had to go watch the Barbie movie. After all, I love the color pink. However, I must admit I’ve never owned a Barbie doll. I also don’t like musicals. Yet, I needed to watch Barbie at this point in time in my life, and I liked it. Surprisingly, I really liked it. It was irreverent yet had heart and sentimentality. It was filled to the brim with sarcasm. Yet, I felt pulled in. Also, I must admit I totally have a crush on Ryan Gosling.
If you didn’t like Moulin Rouge, you probably won’t like Barbie. This movie is surreal and you must be in the right headspace. In case you didn’t know, the movie is about a barbie (stereotypical) doll who travels to the real world looking to fix the Barbie world an in turn she ends up looking for meaning in life.
The thing is, we’re all on that journey. That’s what it means to be human. As for my sugar need. I think I needed to taste sweetness again.

Too silly for me.
I used to make clothes for Barbies – that belonged to my little sisters.
