Ya, aku
phobia buah dalam artian aku takut dan benci pada buah. Bau dari buah membuatku
mual, bahkan bila bersentuhan dengan buah, aku langsung berasa ingin mencuci
tangan. Bahkan aku menghindari area penjualan buah apabila ke supermarket
karena baunya selalu membuatku ingin muntah.

I know
that I am weird. Most people dislike vegetables, but I dislike fruits.
“Buah itu manis dan enak, apanya yang perlu ditakutin?” they said.
My answer is, I don’t know. Some
people said that something must’ve happened in my past. Something that made me
despise fruits. But to tell you the truth, I do like fruits back then. I
remember that as a child, I do like eating fruits, and then somehow, as time passed
by, I began to despise fruits without any specific reason.
I do know that without eating any kind of
fruits in life, it’s unhealthy. That’s why some time in the past, I’ve tried to
overcome my fear of fruits. I’ve tried to eat a slice of apple back then, only
to got diarrhea afterwards. And that experience only made my hatred for fruits
grew much bigger than before.
It was until yesterday, I’ve
succeeded to drink a glass of watermelon juice!
“How come!?” you asked.
It was because earlier this year,
my grandmother got stomach cancer. And then my mother told me that my great
grandmother died because of stomach cancer, so did my great-great grandmother.
And so this information scared the heck out of me.
And then I googled, “Is cancer
hereditary?”
And then I got this from www.facingourrisk.org,
Some people are born with a gene mutation that they inherited from their mother or father. This damaged gene puts them at higher risk for cancer than most people. When cancer occurs because of an inherited gene mutation, it is referred to as "hereditary cancer."
In which I concluded that cancer
is “somehow” hereditary! And it freaked the hell out of me! It was before my
mom told me that eating fresh fruits can lower stomach cancer risk. Yes, as you
can guess, I finally decided to really try to eat fruits.
With much courage, about 5 times
of nearly puking, and a headache afterwards, I finished a glass of watermelon
juice yesterday. I’m not saying that I’ve completely overcame my fear of
fruits. I’m just saying that with your own will, you can overcome anything in
this world, even your own fears.
Just look at me, I finally drink
fruit juice! After like wasting 18 years of my life, hating fruits.
You can do anything with your own
will.
My parents used to jokingly mock
me when I tried to eat fruits, like “Seriously, Ce? *laugh* Kamu bakal
muntah-muntah! Gitu mau sok nyoba makan buah.”
All you have to do is close your
ears and just do what you want.
