Freezer Burn

I believe the fear in being alone is one that we create for ourselves, not out of selfishness, but out of a place of giving. I could be all wrong, but i think it is the fear of having an abundance of love that we don’t have enough time to give all away. Just imagine cooking enough food for the entire community, but no one from the community shows up to eat. The time and investment that you’ve put into preparing this meal seems to have gone to waste, which upsets you. For a second, you might think, I can’t eat all this food right now and keep it to myself. But the truth is, that you can hold on to that food. You can toss it in the freezer for yourself to use or distribute over time. Love works similarly. We have to remind ourselves that it is okay to hold onto some of it for ourselves. In fact, that is exactly what we should do after preparing ourselves and putting in so much work to become beings that are capable of loving. The love that you have to give doesn’t have to be distributed all at once, all to one person, or all externally. A small storage of it, should be preserved for personal use.
