Life, like homemade salsa, is best enjoyed while it’s still zesty. We spend so much time trying to preserve things—food, moments, even relationships—that we sometimes miss the point: freshness is a gift, not a guarantee. A jar of salsa in the fridge reminds me to embrace what’s vibrant today, not hoard it for a future that might never come.
So pour a bowl, invite a friend over, and eat it with abandon. If there’s any left after seven days, thank it for its service and say goodbye. Then, go buy some more tomatoes. The chips are waiting.
