I bought this ice cream when I was walking alone, trying to set my mood up. I decided to stop for a moment and take a picture of it when suddenly, one of the kids playing around screamed.
"Just eat it! Do not take a picture of it!"
It made me stop for a couple of seconds more, then I just smiled at him. That kid made me realize that he was completely right as I continued walking, departing from him and his friends.
He was completely right. Why would I have to capture it first instead of just eating that ice cream right away?
That ice cream symbolizes happiness in front of us. Something that is already present, but then we choose to delay. Simply like what I did. I know that eating that ice cream will make me feel better, but I chose to take a picture of it first.
I hope that when we meet that happiness again, we will not delay taking it. Do not waste our time staring at it, realizing that we have been waiting for it for so long.
