When I was a teenager I thought one of the jobs I would love to do would be dolphin trainer. Swimming with them looked so cool and especially after watching that TV series called Flipper. 馃槃
It really was. I swam with them once when I went to the dolphinarium in Varadero. However, over time I realised that I like the sea, but not so much as to be so deep inside of it: So, swimming with dolphins was a tremendous experience...
that didn't root the desire to work as a trainer.
(I laugh)
Don't get the wrong idea. It was nice. So nice that I'll never forget that feeling. I also realised that water was not my element. Or it is, but not as a fish that swims with other fish. In this case dolphins are not fish, but you understand me, don't you?
I'll tell you why water is my element in another way. Remind me if I forget to explain it before I put the final DOT to this post.
Wait... I forgot to place the cover image I made in Canva. Look how cool it is.
And now you'll say: but wasn't this crazy girl going to talk about fruit?
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
The third coconut.
You don't believe me, you think it's the same coconut in three different photos?
馃檮
Oh, but why are you so distrustful?
------------------------ patience! serenity! 馃槄
Btw, look at this mess!
Meow... more patience and more serenity. 馃槒
Honestly, I don't understand this ritual of Yin rubbing himself with coconuts. 馃槃
Let's connect things a bit here. Desiring what we don't even know and fruits.
馃挕
Coconut is a fruit that I like very much because with it I can make so many sweet and savoury things and even quench my thirst. I planted a coconut tree to keep them handy. I am very clever, yes. It took years for it to grow and give coconuts! Keep this in mind.
But this:
It is a fruit called Caimito. And although I knew of its existence, and sometimes wished to try it, I didn't do so until this sublime Sunday when I was ready to savour it.
However, do you know how long it has been in my fridge? Several days. I just couldn't make up my mind. It almost rotted, but I remembered Dreemport's squash and gave it a chance.
(that's what a #dreemerforlife does)
It turns out that some family friends, Eliseo and Zenaida, sent me a Caimito with my parents, several days ago, I repeat. But apparently everything has its time. I gave it a try after a few days, not without a little fear that when it reached my mouth, I wouldn't like it at all.
You have to be brave to desire, and I think also to receive and taste the object of your desire when it finally arrives. And even more so if it's something as exotic as this Caimito. 馃ぃ
It's not the same as the Mamey.
Have you ever made a Top Ten fruit list? That is, the ones you prefer in order, with the number one being... well, you know, the one that melts you, that fruit that when you see it, it makes you mad and you just want to put it in your mouth.
Come on, tell me about it. I'd love to read you in the comments.
I tell you that, in my case, between the mamey and the ripe banana there is a fierce battle... which I think the mamey wins.
Imagine a mamey milkshake with frapp茅 ice.
(No. You can't if you've never tried it. But if you try it, it can happen to you as it happened to me with Caimito...)
For me, it is something unparalleled in history. It is a known object of desire that I can't always have, but only at specific times of the year, like this one for example. Unless I buy a lot of ripe mameyes and store them in portions in the fridge and thus prepare myself to have it all year round on a regular basis.
And then comes another question:
Would I get bored of mamey? Would it fall from its high and first place in the Top Ten?
Perhaps.
What I do know is that Caimito is not even on that list I think, even if it looks exotic, and maybe a little forbidden because Caimito trees are not plentiful.
(you might want to think about other things we want to be or have apart from the dolphin training thing and this apotheosic fruity speech)
... keep going... this would be my list:
I really need to go through this list a bit as I am not sure right now of anything I wrote there.
Maybe I shouldn't do a top ten. 馃
(I'm about to hyperventilate, give me a paper bag) 馃ぃ - a joke.
These sublime thoughts have taken up much of my Sunday. And I feel the need to focus a bit more on the things I want and prefer to be consistent and confident with this. It would help a lot in my life, I guess.
Another question: Do you consider yourself a secure, insecure or middle-of-the-road person?
;)
PS. The water thing did not slip my mind. It's just that another sublime thought came and it seems to me that I can dedicate a whole post to it and reflect on how beneficial and powerful it is. It won't be new what I'll say but I can give it a touch to make it seem so at least. 馃槄
