#I'd forgotten how good they tasted. They were my favorite fruit and giving up eating them raw was so so hard but holy hell

This afternoon, I went to my grocery store. I went to the apple section, as I would normally, to pick out some honeycrisps. I grabbed the most perfect one I could find.

About fifteen minutes ago, I peeled the sticker, washed it off, cut it up, like I would any other time to cook it.

This time, I did not microwave it.

I ate my first raw apple in eight years. I forgot how good they tasted raw, how the crunch sounds so good and how its texture is perfect, and how it's juicy and flavorful and sweet. I'm going to cry.
