Attention is like firewood.
You continue adding logs to the flame
in a desperate attempt to keep the relationship alive
and thriving.
You can’t abandon the fire.
Eventually everything will burn out.
You can’t put in too much either,
or everything will erupt into a raging flame,
wrecking havoc and destruction.
Love is not a boomerang.
Just because you throw it out into the world
doesn’t mean you get it back.
You are not owed anything.
Take caution with what you give.
Budget what you have, and you will blossom-
being left in a better state than before.
Give too little
and everything dies.
Give too much
and you’re left with nothing.
Empty.
