CUSHY VICE 05: The Vice of Sugar

Close-up of fresh strawberries with sugar on a wooden table. Perfect for healthy dessert ideas.

When comfort comes in a wrapper.

It’s small.
Simple.
A little hit of sweet in the middle of a long day.

You say you deserve it.
You say it’s no big deal.
You say it’s just a treat.

And maybe it is.

But somewhere in the background,
sugar stops being joy —
and starts being soothing.


It picks you up when your energy dips.
It distracts you when your emotions swell.
It keeps your brain lit… while your body slips into something sluggish and soft around the edges.


You’re not craving flavor.
You’re craving ease.
Relief.
Something to take the edge off without asking questions.

Sugar becomes the silence between two hard thoughts.


Ask yourself:

  • Am I hungry — or just unsettled?
  • Is this a treat — or a routine escape?
  • What else would comfort me if I actually slowed down enough to feel?

This is the Cushy way.
Sweets with softness — not suppression.
Pleasure with intention.
Comfort that’s conscious.

You’re allowed to enjoy.
But you’re also allowed to feel what sugar’s covering — and love yourself anyway.
