The Buffet of Happy Hours - a photo on Flickriver

            This is not your typical dining experience.    
You may not eat at all.                              
At first, you’ll feel vulnerable.         
That’s necessary to become full.                   
You have to be receptive to the world.                                                  To people and experiences.                
You must be ready to change yourself.                                              To feast on possibilities.                   
The minutes add up.                         
For some, it is easier than others.       
A few come back for seconds.        
Yet, if you decide you can’t finish, 
You’ll be more miserable than ever. 
All your future food will taste like dust.                                                   The people you love most will dessert you while                         Your constant craving for companionship 
Will fill your remaining days.                                          
Sometimes, it is grueling to be alive              
Just knowing we will die               
Even more difficult, to love others.      
Knowing they may die first.
