Sea-Salt Ice Cream
Salty…yet, sweet.
The time I've spent in the Organization has been a mix of both good and bad.
The bad is the salty, and the good is the sweet.
The bad is salty because it's bitter. You don't like it. If you taste salt, you always get that nasty face where you close your eyes really tight and your mouth forms a frown. It's a surprise that you don't expect. For instance, they make me go out and kill things. That technically makes me a murderer, right? I kill Heartless for the Organization's own bitter and greedy needs.
Another thing is that I don't remember my time before the Organization. What did I do then? Was I the same as I am now? I honestly don't know. If I did, I'd tell you. I just feel this empty feeling not knowing who I was or how I acted.
A bad part of being in the Organization is not being like humans. I am not human. I am a Nobody. I cannot feel, and I have no emotions. When I see those three friends in Twilight Town running, laughing, and expressing their emotions, I long to be like them. If you had no feelings, wouldn't you, too?
The good is sweet because you get that nice, fulfilling sensation. You feel happy and nourished. Axel and Xion have helped me feel that way. They are my best friends. I don't act like a zombie when they are in my presence. They make me feel as if I was human. We have fun together. We're best friends. We're not afraid to act goofy or silly around each other. They make me feel…good.
I wish that most days I could just stay in Twilight Town and eat sea-salt ice cream with Axel and Xion. That would make life sweeter, wouldn't it? There's not as much bitterness as there was before.
Life is like sea-salt ice cream, isn't it? There are moments that are sweet, and moments that are salty. But we all have to get through the salty times to get to the sweet. You can't have just sweet moments or just salty moments. You have to have both. I guess it's good to have salty moments, because you always know there will be sweet memories after.
"Man I miss the old times. Still got it memorized? The day we met when you got your new name, you and I sat right here, just like this, and watched the sun set."
