How many pounds?

What wouldn’t you do to get some love!

We grow up with this insatiable hunger that keeps us awake at night, as if we were born with a big hole to fill and we’re convinced that only the love that is given to us can fill it.

So, whenever this hungry feeling appears, our procurement mission begins. At that moment, however, our business sense is canceled and the aim is only to satisfy the need.

So we swallow toads as if they were bitter candies, humiliations that rise inside us, sadness that greases us like a knob of butter and loneliness… heavy like the lasagna made by my grandmother.

For a moment that hole seems to have been filled… so you are convinced that you have succeeded and no matter how you really feel… but ssshhhht, silence please, let me hear… what’s this noise?

«Are you done throwing all this filth in here? Do I look like a trash can to you?.»

«Who are you? I don’t see you … I can only hear you … .»

«Well, good thing you hear me. Do you know how many times I’ve tried to talk to you but you’ve buried me with crap just not to listen to me? Love is not for sale and what you think you’re getting is just a substitute that will never make you happy..»

«So where do I find him? How can I feed this emptiness?»

«You may start loving yourself more, for example, and think you are worth so much. You don’t need to nourish yourself from the outside, accepting anything, but you have to choose the right things for you, those that will make all the feelings of discomfort you feel now and above all those that make you have good dreams disappear.»

«But I’m afraid I’m not enough!»

«Enough for whom or for what? You are Everything, you just have to believe it.»

“Madam, then… how many pounds do you want? It’s made with love!”

“That’s right… I’d be on a diet, let’s do half a pound this time, thanks.”
