SPIRITUAL CRISIS: What’s the best pomelo you’ve ever had?

(1/6) > >>

Rottypixie:
I opened a pomelo today and I think it was trying to fight me. The peel felt like industrial foam. The pith peeled off like drywall insulation. I took a bite and immediately lost my sense of purpose. There was no flavor, only echoes of past disappointments.

I sat in silence for a while. Just… sat there. Looking at the rest of the fruit like it owed me rent.

I need to know what pomelo changed your life. Not a decent one. Not a good-for-what-it-is one. I’m talking about the one that made you reconsider the existence of joy. The one where your tongue freaked out and your brain had to reboot.

The one pomelo that slapped.

Tell me what it was. Tell me where. I don’t care if it was in a forgotten village or smuggled through airport security inside a suitcase lined with ice packs and shame. I’ll find it. I’ll chase it.

Right now I’m three pomelos deep into an identity crisis and I’m starting to think maybe I was the problem all along.
But I’ve had Chandler.
So please. For the love of God.
If there’s something better than Chandler out there, tell me.
I need this.

My fridge is holding two more ticking time bombs. My trust is gone. My soul is bruised. Pomelo has me praying to gods I don’t believe in.

I’m begging you. Help me believe again.

Based on forum reports, I'd like to try a Starburst pomelo.

And just in case this genuinely is a spiritual crisis and not tongue-in-cheek hyperbole, it sounds like you're chasing the idea that there is always something better. Perhaps good wasn't good enough for you, so now the universe is reminding you what a bad one is. Seems like a chance to learn the lesson to find gratitude and joy in the imperfect. When I approach life (and pomelos) without expectations, it's pretty easy to find gratitude even for what most folks would call a bad one.

So if you were being serious, yeah, you might be the problem. But if you were just being silly, my bad!  ;D

BloomAndSprout:
Somebody please help this man, this is serious!

Perplexed:
Try Valentine pomelo and Tahitian

Millet:
I have a large Valentine pummelo tree about 18 years old. The flesh of a valentine fruit is very deep purplish/red, and very sweet.  It has no (zero) acid taste,
