Cold Resemblance

As stair into my fridge, looking at the items that clutter its small selves, I can't help but think about whether these seemingly insignificant items provide an accurate means by which people can judge my character. Items like the protein shakes that lay staggered throughout the masses of Powerade and Life Water blatantly point out that I enjoy working out and sports but neglect to reflect that I also absolutely detest breakfast and instead choose to substitute protein and electrolytes for the common grain and meat associated with the beginning of every day. The box shaped Styrofoam clam shell currently inhabiting most of my fridge with it's small sticker containing the reheating instructions for the leftover Bucca Di Deppo inside, shows my appreciation for other culture's cuisine and variety in life, but hides how much i appreciated eating there with my roommate's family because I could not celebrate Easter with my own. Looking at those same leftovers however, my naturally tendency toward forgetfulness and procrastination become noticeable as that box has remained there for an entire week without being touched(well past the 3 day expiration date) and continues to do so until the space is deemed necessary for other containers. So as far as being able to judge me from my fridge's contents, I think it depends how deeply you look. Each item can mean something different or nothing at all.

  1. I really enjoyed reading your post. I like how you looked at each item of food in the fridge in at least two ways, and showed how they revealed different aspects of your personality. It shows that everything is open to interpretation, even the most basic aspects of our lives.
