tastes and colors

I just made an anklet out of floss from Robert's. I wanted it to have all this symbolism and meaning but it still just is an anklet to me. Then I was sitting here watching TLC with my family and I realized something.
Everyday I wake up and have a completely different mood. It seems like my days are painted over with one color that takes over everything I do. Everyday, I wake up and feel like this is how my life will be as long as I live. How 16 year old of me, right? If I am in a bad mood, I feel like I will never get out of it, but the same goes for good days. Everyday I wake up and get another taste of the world. Somedays it tastes like strawberries and then other days it tastes like burnt mac and cheese. If you know what I mean. Today could be the last taste of the world I get. Last night, I accidentally took expired TUMS at a sleepover and we were convinced we were going to die. But we had so much fun before we went to bed that the whole world tasted like smooth chocolate and my life was painted orange and yellow. Wouldn't that be a good taste to have left in your mouth if it was the last one you got? Everyday, I want to wake up and taste the world and savor it like it was the last taste I got. If it has to burnt mac and cheese, then I want every minute of that. If my day has to be colored grey or black, then let it. I would rather feel everything than nothing at all. 
I am so lucky to taste the world at all.
