Pizza night

-


At first glance, it’s just a meal, some tomato paste, cheese, a crust, and a bit of sauce. But pizza night has always been about more than food. It’s a ritual of connection, a circle, cut into slices, not just for convenience, but for communion.

Because life, just like pizza, was never meant to be consumed alone.

The slices that bring us together:

We cut pizza into slices to make it shareable. Not because we can’t finish it ourselves, but because it tastes better when someone else is enjoying it too. 

Each slice shared is a gesture of inclusion:

  • “I want you to have some of this, its my favorite...”

It’s the same in relationships. The moments we slice off, our time, attention, affection, aren’t lost. They’re multiplied when shared.

Love is not the whole, it’s the portions we offer: 

Some people think love is all or nothing. That giving a piece of yourself means giving up everything, but love is like a pizza: You don’t have to hand over the whole pizza, you just have to be willing to share slices. A laugh here. A late-night talk there. A soft place to land after a hard day. It’s not about sacrificing everything. It’s about choosing to offer a part of yourself because you want them to feel fed too.

When someone takes more than their share :

Sometimes, the slices aren’t distributed fairly. One partner eats fast, takes more, leaves crumbs. While the other watches their own share shrink with each bite. That’s not sharing. That’s consumption. And eventually, the one who always gives stops feeling full.

The full circle of reciprocity:

Pizza, when shared fairly, brings people closer. Each hand reaching for a slice is a reminder that we’re in this together. That you don’t just feed yourself, you feed the bond.
So when it’s your turn, pass the plate. Offer the warm slice. Ask if they’ve had enough before reaching for another. Not because you have to. But because love is circular, and so is the pizza.

Conclusion: 

Pizza night is more than comfort food, it’s a metaphor for meaningful connection, for generosity, for emotional nourishment. So when you think of love, think of pizza, hot, imperfect, deliciously messy, and best enjoyed when shared. 

Because life doesn’t demand perfection, it just asks that we offer what we can, one honest slice at a time.

Invisible tattoos

-
Image
Not all ink is visible.  Some tattoos are carved in silence.  Etched beneath the skin.  Burned into memory, not flesh.  We all carry them, invisible tattoos.  Stories we don’t tell.  Pain we’ve adapted to.  Moments that left a mark, even if no one else can see it. These aren’t badges. They’re not for display, but they are there shaping how we love, fear, trust, and react. Wounds without bandages: The world often honors visible pain. A cast on a broken arm. Tears in public. An obvious loss.  But what about heartbreaks no one witnessed?  The silent betrayals?  The anxiety hidden behind jokes?  The grief that doesn't have a funeral? Invisible tattoos form from the things we couldn’t say when we needed to. From the resilience we were forced to build. From the survival that came with a price.  And just because they’re unseen doesn’t mean they’re not deep. The art of adaptation: These inner marking...

Disrespectful respect

-

We’re often taught that “respect” is a virtue. A mark of maturity. A foundation for connection. But sometimes, what we call “respect” is actually something else entirely: avoidance, fear, self-abandonment, or compliance dressed in polite behavior.  Disrespectful respect is the kind of "respect" that honors others while quietly dishonoring the self.  It is the moment we smile when we feel violated. It is the silence we offer in the face of injustice.  It is the deferential tone we adopt to avoid confrontation, even when our boundaries are being crossed. It is peace on the surface and a storm beneath it. When respect becomes self-betrayal: True respect is mutual. It is rooted in honesty, boundaries, and dignity on both sides.  Disrespectful respect emerges when: We suppress our truth to “keep the peace” We allow manipulation or mistreatment under the guise of being “respectful” We equate silence with virtue We uphold hierarchy over humanity We giv...

Bad to the bone

-

There’s a sickness beneath the surface of modern civilization, a quiet rot spreading through our institutions, relationships, and communities. You don’t have to look far to see it, cruelty disguised as commentary, betrayal normalized in love, profit prioritized over people. Somewhere along the way, the social fabric began to fray, and now, the seams are splitting. Are we inherently bad to the bone? The desensitization of the soul:  Every headline bleeds, every feed scrolls by with one more tragedy, and every time, we care a little less. We’ve been conditioned to accept the unacceptable, to justify mistreatment if it aligns with our team, our tribe, our side. Decency becomes conditional, kindness reserved for the deserving, but who decides who deserves it? In this new world, empathy feels old-fashioned, integrity seems naïve.  Compassion = Weakness. The collapse of collective responsibility:  We no longer see ourselves in one another. We walk past suffering. We scroll pas...
