Chocolate is one of the products we buy without checking the expiry date.
It is shelf-stable and normally will last longer than we expect.
I thought about a hypothetical conversation between a couple talking about a bar of chocolate.
A:“ I’m hungry, is there any food in the fridge?”
B: “Yeah there is a chocolate bar”
A: She takes out the chocolate bar thinking that
it is weird to store the chocolate inside a fridge.
She unwraps the foil and discovers the chocolate
is covered with sugar blooms.
A: “I think this one is expired”
B: “No it’s not, chocolate can’t go bad.
Check the date behind it.”
A: “Yeah the date says it’s fine,
but it looks like it’s gone bad”
B: “But it’s not expired”
B: “Just eat it”
A: She slowly eats up
the chocolate while suffering
B: “Eat it” repeats the sentence slowly until it fades out.
I had this idea by looking back at my relationship in the past. My partner believed we still had more time that we can enjoy ourselves together.
I couldn’t disagree because I didn’t have the courage to say that we were not on the same page.
I see relationships that are merely there even though they have lost every bit of empathy and love for each other.
If the bar of chocolate is love there must be an expiry date. Being together with no joy is abiding by the estimated date. But you never know if the estimate is correct. Can you really say that “We are still together” if you unwrap your partner’s mind and look through it?
I thought A is the one that has craving for new love.
The chocolate has sugar blooms which means technically it didn’t go bad. Yet she is still disgusted to swallow it.
And B is the one who still tries to maintain the love that they have, even though it is going bad.
B stores the chocolate in the fridge because of the fear that he might spoil the love. But no one is capable to control when the love expires. Yet B decides to force A to agree that their love is still valid.
