Do you like watermelon?
If you do, you know just how juicy, sweet, and delicious the heart is.
By all means, don’t hog it to yourself, but also, by all means, enjoy it. Don’t save it until it’s not fresh anymore—there’s a place for enjoying the best here and now. Especially when it stands a chance to deteriorate with time.
( If you don’t like watermelon, please share something that this invitation might be relevant for in your food world—maybe bananas? please eat them at their peak and use the past peak ones for banana bread—unless, of course, you like spotted, mushy bananas. )
Rest and enjoy.
