I’ve found that it’s not always about hunger. Sometimes, I need the reassurance. I catch myself wandering into the kitchen, opening the refrigerator door, and just standing there. The cold air spills out, the little light flicks on, and I scan the shelves like I’m searching for something new. But nothing has changed since the last time I looked, maybe 20 minutes ago. I don’t think it’s about food most of the time. It’s about comfort. About proof. About knowing there’s something there. I’ve had times in my life when the fridge was almost empty. A half jar of something, a bruised apple, maybe some leftovers we weren’t sure were still good. Those moments stick with you. The silence of an empty refrigerator feels louder than any hum of the motor. It’s the sound of not having enough. So now, even when I’m not hungry, I open the door. I look inside. I take inventory. And every time, I breathe a little easier seeing that there are eggs, or milk, or a pack of cheese sticks. It’s not about craving a snack, it’s about soothing a part of myself that remembers scarcity. Maybe you do it too. Maybe you know that little ritual of opening the door, looking inside, and closing it again. It’s not wasteful; it’s a quiet way of reassuring yourself that you’re okay, that you have enough, that you’ve come a long way from the days when you didn’t. The refrigerator becomes more than an appliance. That refrigerator becomes a small archive of security. Proof of stability. A reminder that you made it through. So if you find yourself opening and closing that door twenty times a day, maybe it’s not a bad habit. Maybe it’s your way of saying: I’m safe now. I have what I need.
