First Actual Post About FOOD!
So I know Emma's person is not nearly as obsessed with salads as I am but I'm going to post this anyway because FOOD! SALAD! YUM!
So yeah, the weather has been beautiful here which always makes me want salad, amazing, beautiful, delicious salads with cucumbers and tomatoes and nuts and berries and all kinds of other stuff that can be put in salads! And since I remembered I love salds so much, and they're healthy, I've been having a salad every day.
That's not even really the food thing I wanted to talk about though. I just made something really awesome. I ate it before I could take pictures but it wasn't really that photogenic anyway so it's okay.
Ingredients:
oat groats or steal cut oats
nutritional yeast
garlic powder
toasted sesame seeds
olive oil
other spices (optional)
1. Put the pat groats on a baking sheet and toast for somewhere between ten and twenty minutes depending on how thick of a layer they are. They should be brown and smell and taste toasted, but not burnt.
2. Put oat groats in a bowl. Add a spoonful of nutritional yeast, some garlic powder, some sesame seeds, and a little bit of olive oil (or you could use melted butter). If you want to put other spices like cayenne pepper or whatever flavors you like put them in as well. Mix it together.
3. Eat it. It is amazing.

So I just decided to post this for Zeus' person because I think this blogspot should be more than just about food. We can truly update each other about life and what I could write but cannot necessarily say.
Today, I woke up to a very sunny day at 7:30am with only 3-4 hours of sleep, yet I can't sleep anymore. My boyfriend broke up with me over skype last night. I called him up like every night after a nice workout and he decided to release the breakup/ closure speech: "I've been thinking about this for awhile now....I've just been feeling stuck for awhile...you don't deserve the little time I give you since I'm busy all the time...I'll always care about you and we can be friends." We didnt fight. I didn't fight back. But I did tell him a few things. I didn't want revenge or to make him feel bad because he had been my best friend for the last 3 months and I cared about him. Even though I've always had doubts in my mind that we probably weren't "right" for one another, my parents didn't truly like him, I've felt exhausted the past few weeks during our relationship, it started to get boring...I was trying to treat him as a friend where we struggle to together and work on communication to further our growth together...except, I was wrong. We had a few rough patches the first 1-2 months but we never really fought. After month 1, we had a little dispute about where we were going and he said he wasn't ready to let me go yet. I guess with that in mind, I thought "we" would heal. Well, I guess it shows that sometimes when we feel settled down or starting to feel more consistent about a relationship, those feelings aren't always right. Maybe he was right, maybe we did move too fast....but sometimes how can you time a relationship? The one thing I ended up saying to him is I really don't know how to or what to say to him....truly, I had nothing. So I ended up telling him, I don't need the closure speech, I don't need his "What we had was real and I'll always care about you" crap, I don't need the justification. I told him he had horrible timing because he could've given me some hints it wasn't working instead of leading me to think we were getting closer and then a slap on the face. I told him " you can't just socker-punch someone and then try to caress them and apologize," that he couldn't alleviate the hurt and abandoned feeling I was going through. I told him that the worst part of it is, instead of like a best friend, I can't be his friend anymore because when I woke up the next morning it'll feel like he died. It feels like someone just disappeared from your life....because the truth is I can't ever meet up with him without feeling something. Of course, maybe later on I'll get over it but for now, it's kind of a bummer and I can't see him the same way anymore. I cried really hard and we ended the call after talking for nearly 1 hour and I finally said, Look, I can't look at you anymore and I don't want to sit here listening to this cliche speech, because the truth is the more he tried to justify or more he said what we had was real made me more angry. DUH! Of course it was real! I just have to learn how to deal with it. But I said you know, you could've waited or have told me earlier. You decided to do it over skype on a wednesday midnight leaving me with no one hear to cry to (my parents aren't here). I finally didn't want to hear his voice anymore or hear more of his junk so I said, I can't do this anymore,....I'm done and hung up.
Was it love that we had? Truthfully, it wasn't. Did we mingle well or have total chemistry?...the answer is no. We've had so much differences from hobby to school, from ambition to character. But why did I stay and drag it out I ask myself? Because I wanted to try in a relationship to MAKE it work to not give up, to TRY to communicate because essentially that was everything. I knew I wasn't going to end up with him because of multiple reasons and I defied some friends advise and family advise to pursue something I wanted, so i thought. Anyways....the conclusion is that I'm done, I'm single again. The world hasn't ended and even though Im gonna be walking into work with a puffy eyes....my life starts at Day 1 again. I think I'll let the whole dating thing out of the way for awhile. I don't want any guy to be my rebounce and don't anyone to suffer that. I also need to focus on myself and do all the things I've been needing to do lately and have been putting it off because I was giving effort in our relationship first.
Alright Zeus' person and the world.....that's another chapter of my life ended and a new one to start writing.

Today, after a long hard day at work and getting off super late....Emma's person drags her feet out of the car upon arriving home to check her mail. To her surprise she felt something very unoriginal.....it was a small package that WASN'T FLAT, it had spheres in the package. Then under the moonlight she realizes they're MALTESERS. The best European alternative to the American Whoppers candy. These things are a million times more amazing. Emma's Person can't believe the package could even have been sent and ate all of the Maltesers in one setting....because it was THAAAT good. She loves Zeus' person....she's incredible in every way :).
