Sweetness
Sometimes a sugar craving makes me feel like im going crazy. And it's not like a chocolate or cake can solve it. My sugar cravings can be so particular.
Many times I crave juice. Like a cold cold packaged fruit juice. It's either Minute Maid or Real juice. And if I don't get it I feel so restless.
But sometimes I eat a piece of cake and it's enough. If a friend is eating something sweet, I just take a bite and that leaves me not only energised but also satisfied.
Sometimes spicy tastes sweet. Like peri peri fries or fried chicken. I can taste the spice but it's also sweet and perfect for my craving. I'm not very keen on spice, but if it's the type that doesn't make me sweat and gulp water, it's good enough for me.
Whenever we go to hotels or restaurants and they give small sugar sachets with tea or coffee, I empty half into my cup and eat the rest. I just dump the whole thing into my mouth and my parents look at me like i'm crazy.
My favourite is sugar cubes. They sit so perfectly on my tongue and it's so satisfying watching them bubble down in my hot drink.
I don't like extra sweet tea or coffee. It just takes away the strong taste of the drink. I like when my coffee is strong enough that the bitterness hits, but also sweet enough that it enhances the strong taste.
Another strong sweet is dark chocolate. I prefer that over milk chocolate. But 100% dark chocolate makes me gag. I like when it's in the 60-80% range. That's the best kind for me.
My mother doesn't have a sweet tooth. At all. She can't stand sweet things. Her favourite sweet is kaju barfi, and that's the only thing she woukd willingly eat without making a funny face. There are times when she has her cravings too. I open the fridge one day and see a cake slice sitting there.
Now that I'm on my own with my own money, it's a bit difficult to control spending on food. Everything looks so enticing. I can't ask my parents to buy things for me anymore, so I end up spending so much money on food every week. And I want to control it but. Cravings!
There's something sweet about sweet. It's more than just a craving at times. It brings people together too, in a way. Like those sweets ad where a family comes together at a festival to share.
Its sweet.
When a sugar craving hits, do you
Your vote is final.
Sugar cravings are real. I get sugar cravings around my periods. Also if I eat sweet I get nauseous. I try to eat fruits when I get sugar cravings, that helps me.
It’s the quiet, sudden softening of a world that is usually too sharp around the edges. We spend so much of our lives bracing for impact—wearing armor, guarding our boundaries, and bracing ourselves against the relentless friction of getting by. We expect every interaction to demand something from us, every day to require a fight. And then, unexpectedly, sweetness slips through the cracks. It’s the taste of a cold fruit when the afternoon heat is choking. It’s someone remembering how you take your tea without you having to ask, or a stray message from an old friend who just wanted to check if you were breathing. It’s the unforced, bubbling laughter that catches you completely off guard in the middle of a miserable week. It doesn't shout or demand attention. It’s small, quiet, and startlingly vulnerable. But in those brief, unscripted moments, sweetness reminds you why you bother putting up with the hard parts at all—proving that underneath all the exhaustion and noise, the world is still capable of holding something gentle.
This is honestly so relatable 😭 Sometimes you don’t just want “something sweet,” you want a very specific kind of sweet and nothing else will do. And once that craving starts, suddenly controlling food spending becomes a completely different challenge 😂.
