nuts will tell you who you are, probably

I have mixed feelings about pistachios.

I love the taste, but I hate the mess

of it.

 

the peeling, the flakes under your fingernails,

the pile of shells,

all make you look like a gropey glutton.

 

but it tastes

so

de-

*******

-licious.

 

so whenever I eat them, I get a sensation

of half pleasure

and half disgust

in every bite.

 

it's the most balanced thing i've found in life

so far.
