nourish | 12.17.17*

we give, give, give until we have nothing left. 
we live in a world that creates the illusion that the more we give of ourselves, the more it will pay off.
But what is the reward we truly seek? Is it worth the pouring out of our very being, the withering of our souls? How can the benefits be enjoyed when there is nothing left to enjoy it with?
The nourishment of the mind and the soul-- that's what brings the real benefits. Giving with love, filling up with passion, sharing compassion. Those are the true benefits of giving.
Do not just give everything you've got to a world that doesn't care less about who you are, but to give to what fills your soul back up.

Nourish. Your very being depends on it.
