Poi sei arrivato tra le mie braccia. Abbiamo fatto l’amore lentamente, come se il tempo avesse smesso di esistere. C’erano baci che sapevano di casa, carezze capaci di raccontare più delle parole e sguardi così profondi da sembrare eterni, con gli occhi persi l’uno dentro quelli dell’altra.

Eppure oggi, quando ripenso a tutto questo, nel cuore sento una malinconia che non mi aspettavo. Perché ho capito che il desiderio, da solo, non basta. Si può inseguire qualcuno con tutta l’anima, immaginarlo, sognarlo, aspettarlo… e poi accorgersi che ciò che si cercava davvero era qualcosa di ancora più grande.

Vorrei una presenza che resti, una complicità che sopravviva al silenzio, mani che scelgano di cercarsi anche quando il desiderio si placa.

i straight up forgot i sent that ask about the crumbl dirty sodas but i have since tried one and it was literally just. fine ™️. it was a dr pepper with cherry flavor added in and heavy cream. it was kinda overpriced for what it was but i don’t have any major complaints? mostly just tasted like a normal soda with flavoring. i also tried to make one at home but one unfortunate thing i Didn’t realize is the citric acid from the soda causes the cream to curdle… it’s still safe to drink and doesn’t really affect the taste but u kind of have to not look at it or think about it too hard. i think the places that sell them have ways to keep this from happening tho because it wasn’t a problem with the crumbl one 😭 maybe other more Dirty Soda Experienced americans will know why this is. anyway imo dirty soda is like a 7/10 nothing crazy but maybe worth it for the fun factor

HI AMERICAN ANON

Sorry I took so long to answer, I literally loved talking about American lore. Anyways, I think I’m more like you in being down to try something for the experience but I very very highly doubt it’d become an everyday thing or even a more than once thing for me because I simply love coffee. I’ve tried replacing it with so many options but I was never able to. Now about the curdles I actually asked google about it! Basically they use very high fat cream+ they mix with simple syrup (which is just sugar and water) + the creams they use have stabilizing emulsifiers (which are apparently cosmetic additives that force water and oil to mix and stay mixed) + they pour the cream very gently over the ice. So yeah the more you know.

I’m gonna be honest here and say I’ve never tried a doctor pepper. Honestly I’ve had a sip when I was like, 12? And I never did again. I must’ve not liked it. But I have no memory of how it tasted like. Anyways, I think I’d go for a more like, well known one. Like the Diet Coke with coconut cream. I think I’d be ok with trying that.

I also wanted to say that I’m much less horrified with the idea of a dirty soda than I am with the calories in them. Because what do you mean there’s 130 grams of sugar in one cup??? (It was rumored to be 186 which is why I rounded to 200 but it’s been clarified it’s 130, like that’s any better) that’s 2/3rds of a cup. That’s actually insane I’m sorry. It’s almost 840 calories for one drink. One. I might be taking it too far but it’s mind blowing to me. And all that while not having free healthcare is also insane to me.
