Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure if you said that to someone from the upper East Coast of the U.S., they&#8217;d have some colorful words and sour expressions for you. They truly are different bakery delights. BUT, they also look very similar! <em>See the photo!?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writers like to add silly symbolism to everything &#8211; so my mind came up with the comparison of these two with relationships. What&#8217;s the difference between a stale mediocre-tasting relationship and a delicious, sweet romance book relationship? <strong>Love!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry in advance if I offend any bagel lovers :P. I mean, don&#8217;t get me wrong, they&#8217;re probably great as a breakfast bread. But, whenever I&#8217;ve had them in school, they were always hard, crumby, and really, they just tasted like&#8230; like hard, stale bread. I couldn&#8217;t understand why people were so into them and still are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I DO love donuts, though. Not as some kind of mainstay meal, but as a treat for dessert sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, I suppose, not all relationships start out as scrumptious, sweet donuts. They may start out as boring bagels <em>then progress<\/em> into donuts. Or, they may have been donuts and then <em>regressed<\/em> into bagels. <strong>I think that&#8217;s because they either added or removed the ingredient Love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure we&#8217;ve all read our fair share of romance books where two characters meet normally and haven&#8217;t fallen for each other. Then, they add love: one cares for the other, one does something sweet for the other&#8230; and suddenly their relationship goes from bagel to donut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe we can apply the same logic to real life. Can you recall all the bagel relationships you have with people? Maybe try a science experiment and add some love and see if you can convert those to donut relationships?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or maybe your current romantic relationship has turned bagel&#8230; couldn&#8217;t hurt to add love to see if it&#8217;ll sweeten into a donut again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Love Is All We Have<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Easter, everyone!
