I depend on Dove chocolate way too much and probably eat more than I should. This is my tribute to chocolate while I am giving it up for Lent.

Dear Dove Chocolate,

First off, I want to say thank you for always being there for me. Whenever I am stressed, sad, mad, or having the best time of my life, you are there for me. You have a beautiful, shiny wrapper and no one can make me smile like you can. I know we have been taking a break for forty days or so, and I know it hasn’t been easy. I promise Easter will be worth it. This is good for me. I need this break. I cannot rely on you all the time.

However, I miss you like crazy. You make me feel so safe and calm when I am with you. We have had so many memories such as me collecting your wrappers freshman year of college. You had so many nice things to say to me on those wrappers. I cherish those memories. Or when I was up late studying all those nights. I knew I could count on you to be there for me and to motivate me to keep going after a short study break. You are truly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. These forty days are not easy but they are what is for the best. I will come out a stronger person if I can learn to depend on you less. But worry not. It is not a breakup. Just a break. Hang in there and know that there isn’t a day that goes by that I do not think, “Oh how I would love some Dove”.

Love,

Laura

I hope this letter gives everyone a good laugh, especially if you gave chocolate up this year for Lent. It is not easy but it is worth it.
