LMAOO this is just specifically to answer this one gimmick since it’s pretty much a yapfest and YEAHH..!!

ANYWHOO this person asked “why I like apples sm??” if you can’t see images!

It all started very young, uhh, I was raised kinda believing in spirituality, karma, chants, manifestations, kinda stuff?? (One parent was a believer and the other wasn’t so I had very mixed feelings) and I was always a very easily sick child + bad luck kinda so like, hospitals made BANK off me LMAO

Anywhoo, the hospital had like these bowls of fruits, (apples, bananas, grapes, etc) on sale at the in property store, so I’d always buy some and hearing what I’ve heard other parents say to their kids in the hospital “an apple a day keeps the doctor away!” and me being both a kid as well, and somewhat believing in shi like that due to my spiritual parent, I started eating a lot of apples which made me feel idk?? Like I was washing my bad luck away?? Idk how to explain it esp if you don’t believe in stuff like that sryy!!

And like, it just kinda became a comfort food to me yk?? It’s honestly a bit of a blur but I’d eat it pretty oftenly when uhh my parents would argue, vent to me, or whenever I was feeling sick (which was a lot) and it lwk made me feel better but idk if that shi was the apples or my own mentality tricking myself but it works! Most of the time, it gradually lost its effects over the years tho...

Additionally, and I might be over sharing but lwk it cuz nobody rlly asks and I wanna yap LMAO but like, idk, I was honestly pretty expressionless back then (not apathetic yk?? I just was never good at expressing my face or words) so when I was outcasted since fucking like elementary, I’d be really hyperfocused on my apples fixations, and that made people know me as the “Apple Kid” and made me kinda “cool” in a way and that’s really the only way I knew how to make friends by being “strange” so yeah

So, to sum it up, apples are my favorite things because it (somehow) helped me through my sicknesses, made me be able to “befriend” people back then (tho I’m pretyy sure they just wanted to be friends with a weird kid), helped with my ritual/spiritual tendencies with the “an apple a day keeps the doctor away!”, genuinely tastes good and even though I don’t really believe in this stuff anymore, it just helps ykwim??

I hope this answers your question and tysm for asking!!! I LOVE APPLES AUAGSHAHS AND IM SO GLAD YOU DO TOOO!!!!
