Eat your olives

My husband told me once that he didn’t like olives but one day he decided he wanted to like olives. So he ate olives until he started to like them.

I told him that was the dumbest thing I’d ever heard. Why would you force yourself to do something you don’t like just for the sake of learning to like it? I hate olives, too!

Then he started feeding me olives. He fed me so many olives that godamnit, now I like olives. And you know what? It’s like a whole world has opened up. Sometimes I can just eat olives for dinner. I freaking love olives.

So it’s with this thought that I head outside in the winter. I hate winter. But you know what, if you do something for long enough, you can learn to love it. 

A whole new world can open up to you.
