Me: Insatiable.
You: Oh, the series on netflix?
Me: Yah, but no.
You: Huh?
Me: Insatiable, our word for the day.
You: Oh ... okay. So what does insatiable mean?
Me: Incapable of being satisfied.
You: Are you?
Me: I don't know. Sometimes I say I'm already satisfied. You know, the 'This is life' line. Or the 'Life couldn't be any better' kind of thing. But ...
You: Deep down you really are not?
Me: Yah. Who are we kidding, right? Every day, there are a lot of things to do. New goals to accomplish. New stuff to buy - gadgets, clothes, shoes, and oh, bags. New cafes and restaurants to try. New movies and shows to watch. Places to go to. You know, the list goes on.
You: Aren't those superficial?
Me: So you think I am superficial?
You: No, it's not that.
Me: Okay ... so my wants are superficial.
You: I didn't say that. We all have wants. Material and immaterial. Normal.
Me: It sounded like that.
You: Oh, come on.
Me: Insatiable, that's me. I guess it's quite difficult to please me. I like things, superficial things. Not easily satisfied.
You: I don't think so.
Me: You don't?
You: You're quite easy to please.
Me: Really? Why'd you say so?
You: Your eyes sparkle even with the simplest stuff.
Me: You see that?
You: Yah.
Me: Okay, when do my eyes sparkle?
You: When you drink that black coffee of yours. Whether it's from Starbucks, brewed or the instant coffee. Same sparkle. Regardless of the price of the coffee.
Me: Well that just means I like my coffee black.
You: Yah. See, easy to please.
Me: Well, that's coffee. Are those the only times my eyes sparkle?
You: When you talk. When you share your day. When you talk about your work or the people you care about. When you win in arguments. Your eyes shine.
Me: Really? You notice that?
You: Yah. I always look at your eyes.
Me: I don't like my eyes.
You: Why not? They're lovely.
Me: Ugh!
You: Haha. I bet your eyes are sparkling now. Too bad I can't see them now.
Me: How did our topic change to sparkling eyes? We were talking about insatiability. This is not a satisfying conversation.
You: I don't know about you. But I'm quite satisfied.
Me: Really? Why?
You: Coz your eyes also sparkle when you look at me.
