{district five : 69th tribute}
Lunch.
This is possibly my favorite part of the entire day. Each morning I wake up to breakfast, full of waffles and syrup and pancakes and strawberries and crepes. Every night I come to dinner, and the table is covered with mashed potatoes, steaks, pastas, anything I could possibly imagine is laid out in front of me. It's truly the best feeling in the universe. Especially knowing that it's there because of the efforts of myself and all the other tributes. Our tireless and grueling work back in the districts has, in a sense, paid off. Right here and right now, in this week, we are given whatever our heart desires. Five hour long showers, plates piled high with only the most unhealthy of foods, clothes sent directly from the heavens. This is paradise. But paradise comes with a price. And the price that we must pay is our lives, possibly. If we do not pay with our lives, we pay with our sanity. Our peace of mind. We will never be our old selves again. It will be impossible. Too much will have happened.
Now that I think about it, you can never truly win the Hunger Games. You may only survive it. Those are the options. Survive or die. There is no winning. Other than the fact that the Capitol forces you to mentor, forces you to take part in their silly over-the-top culture, you are never going to be whole again. You are never going to be innocent again. We are just kids after all.
I force myself to stop. I can't keep thinking like I'm depressed. That won't help anything. I have to keep my head up, keep hope alive. Because if hope dies, then I die. And I won't let that happen. I may not be able to help if I die or not, but I will not just die. I will fight until my very last breath to return home. I never got to say goodbye to Georgia, after all.
I focus on lunch now. This is my favorite meal of the day. It provides a break from all of the working out and training. I know it's all for my benefit, but it is exhausting. The best part about lunch, though, is it's food options. It has foods from each district. It's absolutely incredible! There are foods from District Four, District Seven, District Nine, any district. And they're all so different. I can never decide which foods to choose.
As I stand there, staring down the different food options, I realize that I'm holding up a few other tributes. How did I realize this, well, someone told me.
