Did I already give away all my candy?
I find myself wondering, on this day after Halloween, if I have already given away all my candy?
The thought’s origin began last night when, after only an hour, all my carefully crafted Halloween goodie bags were handed out - much to the amazement of the empty-handed children standing before me. I guess that’s what the Pied-Piper felt like when the music stopped. Children staring at you; hungry for something more.
Now, you there - get your mind out of the gutter - I’m talking about love - not the horizontal lizard.
Love. Simply love. Just love. My love. Your love. Our love. This love. I can go on forever love. (Yup, it’s out of my system.)
Sometimes I wonder if we are all provided different types of love; e.g. friend, romantic, bro, ergonomic, family, (I did mean to say the other word), etc. And for each of those types we are each allotted a percentage and this percentage keeps the world evenly on its axis - without switching polarity or anything crazy like that - I mean north can’t be south and south can’t be north!
Once you reach your percentage - you’ve reached it. That’s it.
Now there are always exceptions to the rule - look at Mother Teresa - her love had no bounds.
But, we are talking about my love percentage and I just wonder, as I approach 40 with zilch in my romantic love type that if I just have already met my quota?
