The moment wasn’t really about difficulty, but about recognizing patterns in what we naturally prefer. As I ate, I realized how often people are labeled the same way those chocolates were. Words like “too much,” “too reserved,” or “too sensitive” are often used when someone has layers that take time to understand. Yet every chocolate on that display served a purpose.Some were rich and meant to be savored slowly. Others were light, balanced, or reassuringly simple. None were wrong—they were just different. By the time I left, the sign felt less like a gimmick and more like a reminder. Being called difficult often just means being complex. Like chocolate, people aren’t meant to appeal to everyone. We’re meant to be appreciated by those who understand our flavor.
