My cravings are going crazy. As I caught up with a friend in the halls, she munched on a bag of Takis. Usually I don’t crave Taki’s as the red dust on my fingertips made me feel insanely dirty. Every time I held one in my hand, I felt like a middle school boy with red dust caked under his nails and in the dry crevices of his lips. I felt like my brother.
As I heard the crunch of the chip when my friend bit down on it, all of the sudden I craved it. I ended up sadly sitting in my room watching Hot Cheetos and Takis mukbangs on Youtube. Soon I was in an endless cycle of mukbangs and suddenly craved black bean noodles. I’ve never in my life tried black bean noodles, but boy did I want it. Was I pregnant? No, that can’t be possible, I’m gay! But how else would I explain these immense cravings. My period was two weeks ago. After questioning if I had a rare disease or was the next virgin Mary, I realized that I’m just not used to it. I’m not used to not being able to eat what I want to when I wanted to. Before, if I wanted 20 piece chicken nuggets with honey mustard, I’d get it! If I wanted a large pizza with pepperoni, I’d get it! If I wanted to buy a soft serve cone and dip it in fruity pebbles, damnit, I could do that too! All of a sudden, through this challenge, my brain could not get what it wanted right away. The lack of instant gratification made my brain go crazy as I started to lust after french fries dipped in mashed potatoes dipped in popcorn chicken dipped in mac n cheese dipped in more cheese and deep fried. Every day I found myself going through cravings. I hopelessly looked at vending machines as the snacks started to taunt me. Takis sat in the corner edge of the machine, “I know you want this, hot stuff.” “You’re the hot stuff,” as I drooled over the card reader with my face pressed against the glass. “Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!” the Pop-tarts, Takis, and Snickers bar cheered in unison. I woke up in a panic. It was just another dream about vending machines. I suddenly craved Chinese Buffet fried chicken.
