The mind is amazing but it also sucks. Similar to a religious person, its constantly fighting itself. You wanna stay in bed but you have to go to work. You need to fart but you’re in a job interview. You wanna see your friends but you feel worthless and depressed.

Self-control is something that we all struggle with; even me. For example: I’m addicted to doughnuts. The bad kind of addicted. Whats the good kind of addicted? I don’t know but this addiction ain’t it. Specifically, Krispy Kreme doughnuts (for those that love me). Their warm glazed doughnuts simultaneously melt in your mouth and punch you in the face with taste. To the average person, they fall apart in you fingers while you eat piece by piece as fast as you can. To me, naturally, they’re bite size.

The problem is, I cant have 1-2 doughnuts. Word on the street is, I can eat an unlimited amount of those doughnuts. Once I get started, the only 2 reasons I stop are because they run out or because people start giving me the judgy looks.

Freud’s biggest idea, his theory of personality (Human Psyche) can be used to explain my struggles. Similar to my last threesome, its made up of 3 parts driven by their own individual goals: the ID, the Ego, and the Super-ego.

The Id: primitive, sex, hunger, aggression, selfish, unreasonable, and most importantly PLEASURE! (More doughnuts!)

The Ego: the decision maker of the mind; realistic, reasonable, and compromising. It attempts to satisfy the Id’s desires and the Super-ego’s expectations (Try and have 1-2 doughnuts)

The Super-ego: morals, values of society, strives for perfection, uses guilt and shame! (Stop eating doughnuts, you’re scaring everybody!)

Does that mean I have it under control? Nope. In some cases, like mine, the Id can be overwhelming. So now, I avoid Krispy Kreme and threesomes.
