the other day i got my friend a cake before visiting her house for celebration purposes, we were all fairly excited to eat the cake together yet we had too much food before desert that we simply couldn't eat anything anymore, even though i had to leave early in the morning and we couldn't have had our cheerful cake moment together at all. that night at a certain point i figured this just might have been one of the very few—if not the only—moments in my life in which this proverb would just naturally spawn along my internal monologue then would actually fit the situation both literally and figuratively.
