Liquorette

The sweetness of chocolate hides a trace of bitterness within.
As you take a bite, a drop of liquor slowly seeps through,
leaving a warm sting that lingers on the tip of your tongue.
Its scent is layered and intriguing,
like the feelings that come with a certain age in life.

An age when we did not yet know what “being an adult” truly meant,
but tried everything to make someone believe that we already were.
We swallowed the bitterness as if it were nothing,
trying to convince ourselves that we could handle it.

But in truth, that taste was still far too strong for us back then.

And that is precisely where its beauty lies.
In the honesty of pretending to be confident,
in the tension between boldness and shyness,
between a child eager to grow up
and an adult who still does not know where to go next.

Liquorette captures that in-between age of courage and fragility,
the scent of trying to become someone we do not yet know,
and the quiet reminder that growing up is not about age,
but about learning to taste the bitterness hidden within the sweetness of life.
