Dear Diary,
In all my years as a candy addict,
I had never liked licorice!
And the only thing I want to ask myself is, "Why do I keep buying them?"
When I was a kid, I saw a show about how Americans like this stuff so I wanted to try it.
When my friend's dad sent her a pack of licorice from the States, I couldn't understand why she together with her family did not touch the candy but all this changed when I tasted it...
Everything went clear...

All I thought of was, how can something so so so so...errr...liked be so icky for me?

I thought that was the end of my licorice expedition.
I was wrong...
A few years later, I saw the candy for sale in a local candy shop.
Despite my previous experience, I still bought it.
Mmmm...It smelled so good.
But again, I didn't like how it tasted so when I went home i cut it up into tiny pieces and threw it around the garden.
And now, here I am again.
*sigh
I bought half a pack again today...
Unsurprisingly, even after several years had passed, I still find myself disliking the taste.
You would think that this would be the end of my licorice candy stubbornness but I for one know that what happened earlier is but another episode of my...
In denial for the friggin' candy!!!
