Giving isn’t about how I feel.
It’s about what’s here to give.
It’s about what I am here to give.
It’s nice when I want to.
It’s fun when I feel like it.
If that’s the only time I give
that seems more like
a strategy for a transaction,
an offer for approval.
When I do that
I am not giving,
I’m trading.
Giving is for fun.
For free.
No strings attached.
When I know it matters.
When I know someone wants it.
When I want something,
I will do anything to get it.
I forget what that like.
When you want something.
I have.
That thing I’m holding.
That energy.
That attention.
That demonstration.
It’s not mine to keep.
If I believe everything
is on loan from theboss
then giving isn’t an offer.
It’s a transfer of something
that I was trusted to hold.
I’m not giving to be good.
I’m giving because I’ve been trusted with it.
Trusted to notice.
Trusted to share.
Trusted to trust.
Not only when it feels good.
Not only when I’m in the mood.
When it’s indicated.
