For me, a worse experience is when I notice that I hold the last cookie in the package, but right as I’m about to eat it slowly and truly savor it, I hear a noise or I’m somehow distracted and so I quickly cram the whole cookie in my mouth, swallowing every crumb, like it’s a reflex to keep others from stealing it or something.
Afterward, I think back to how I had built it up in my mind, how I convinced myself that what I was supposed to enjoy was the best, most delicious cookie of the whole, once-overflowing package… and then, head lowered, I shed a single, sugary tear.
Story of my life!

Then you eat your sweet, sweet sadness.
