Caramelized Onions

The sweetest Relationship

The sweetest relationships

Require hard work

It takes vulnerability

We have to peel away many layers

Of past conditioning

People pleasing

External validation

A firm bond is formed with patience and slow cooking

Slow burn from the start forms long-lasting love

Sweet juicy caramelized onions

Originate from pungent sharp taste and as they

Melt into one with their buttery counterpart

They transcend slowly

Tenderly

Lovingly

Into glowing bits

Of love

As they bubble on the heat

They must transcend into their highest good

Or else they will burn and go to hell
