“I don't judge poverty by wealth. The poor are those who cannot afford to pay attention in life.”

“Beloved, it is in the triumph over adversity that life reveals its profound fascination, and in the transcendence of its obstacles that we discover its true worth. For it is through the crucible of challenge that we are tempered, and in the overcoming of hardship that we find the essence of our existence.”

“In a village quaint and bright, Lived a chef with great delight. Every morn, with break of day, He’d cook his meals, then he’d say
“Did you eat?” His voice so clear, Echoed far and echoed near. Neighbors smiled, children played, In his care, their hearts were laid.
One fine day, a stranger came, Hungry, tired, seeking fame. “Teach me, chef, your art so fine, I long to make my dishes shine.”
With a nod and knowing glance, The chef began the culinary dance. “First, you learn to truly care, For food is love, you must declare.”
Days turned weeks, the lessons flew, The stranger learned and friendships grew. But fame and glory filled his mind, Leaving care and love behind.
He opened a place, grand and vast, But love for food, a thing of the past. “Did you eat?” He’d never ask, Focused solely on his task.
DID YOU EAT?
Customers came, then soon they went, For something vital had been spent. Food was fine, but heart was cold,
A lesson learned, a tale retold.
Back he went, with heavy heart, To the chef who’d played his part. “Teach me now, what I have missed, For love and care, I have dismissed.”
The chef then smiled, wise and kind, “To care for others, open your mind. The food you make, with love instill, And hearts you’ll nourish, a void you’ll fill.”
“Did you eat?” He asked anew, And in that question, wisdom true. For food with love is more than treat, It’s a bond, a joy, a life complete.
So here’s the tale, both light and deep, A lesson strong for all to keep.
In every meal, in every greet,
Ask with love, “Did you eat?”

“Feeders (A Narc in Love):
They'll feed off your energy,
Soak up your adoration,
Seem perfect in your eyes,
As the love-bombing ignites the manipulation
They will never truly love you,
They do not love themselves,
But they'll break you down from the inside-out
And demolish your sense of self
And then when they see they cannot control you,
They'll shout, and shut the door,
As you elevate from the ashes,
Gone, is the backing down you had displayed before
Then, they'll drop you,
And from a shaky, fantastical ivory tower you'll fall,
Because they've realised,
They cannot keep you on their puppet-strings anymore”
