Dear Food,
I guess the best way to express how much you mean to me and countless others is to simply say this: thank you.
Thank you for always being there for us. You almost never fail to put us in a better mood, no matter how bad it was prior to eating. Whether it's cookies, pizza, ice cream, cheese, or even fruits and vegetables, you provide us with endless options for feeling better. You don't judge us or hurt our feelings, no matter how much we want to eat the entire pint or box. You're there for us first thing in the morning, you keep us going throughout the day, and you're even with us in the middle of the night. No matter what time of day it is, whenever we're away from you for a few hours, or just a few minutes, we think about how great it will be when we're reunited once again--and then when we are, we feel nothing but joy.
Thank you for bringing people together. Whether we're with old friends or new, whether the occasion is happy or sad, and whether we're out on the town or in for the night, you are the lifeblood of almost any social gathering. We bond over how great you are, and getting to share you with each other only brings us closer. Especially when it's pizza at 2 a.m.
Thank you for showing us how capable we are. When we think we're full, we will still welcome you with open arms. When we think we can't finish our plate, we somehow do, because we don't want to fail you when you never fail us. You consistently test our willpower (or lack thereof), training us to exercise it in anything else life may throw at us.
Finally, thank you for always giving us something great to post on Instagram or in our Snapchat stories. Because you bring us so much happiness, you deserve to be shown off to all our followers. Plus you're really pretty to look at (well, most of the time). Thank you for increasing the number of likes we get; that's another testament to how important you are.
Food, none of us are really sure where we'd be without you. But we do know one thing: you never let us down.
Sincerely,
Always Hungry
