Ever try to taste a lemon raw; plain all by itself tasting the essence of this fruit? First time trying something is always full with fear and suspense, I remember my first time was way back in first grade and my grandma brought me this yellow colored orange. I was thinking to myself this must be the very golden-licious orange that no one in our neighborhood can afford to buy. I was so excited so take the first bit of this golden fruit that I just couldn’t wait to taste that shiny pulp on my tongue, I grabbed that first wedge off the cutting board and put it right into my mouth and suck out all the juice just like how I usually would eat an orange. But was not the sweetness that I usually experience but rather a type of flavor that I’ve never experience before.
My Grandma told me that lemons are sweet and the childlike didn’t understand what she was portraying at that time. As time pass by I am able to know what she was talking about at that time. Life is like a lemon; the first time you get expose to what reality is, is the time you find out what sour taste like.
Life is full bumpy roads and slippery path that there’s always going to be sweetness at the end to remind us of the bitter times we have once had.
I knew that hard work will pay off everything at the end. That you need to understand what is the essential of life really is. That you’ve never regret things you’ve done or things you didn’t get to accomplish but you know that you have tried your hardest. At that point you will believe that lemons are sweet, and your life is complete.
