The purest form of profoundly selfless love from the opposite gender is meant to carry healed parent-like energy - even for those who were never loved in the way they needed to be by their own parents - a force ushering you towards discovering your own version of wholeness as a soul.

A man who truly loves you will love you like a father - he will dauntlessly protect you with fire in his veins, be your pillar of strength, think ahead for you, be patient with you, teach you, guide you, and ground you. Similarly, a woman who truly loves you will love you like a mother - she will warm your entire being, nurture you emotionally, look after you physically, become the sanctuary that envelops your inner world, teach you to amplify your intuition, and remind you of the quiet joy in life's more subtle glimmers.

I have never been good at telling people how I feel in real time - not directly, especially in romantic situations. When I was much younger, I would simply stay silent - but yearn ferociously, loving quietly under the radar. Yet this does not mean my love was not there, quite the opposite - because I spoke less, I absorbed more about them - every minute detail imprinted into my mind. I struggled to contain all that raged within me, afraid that whimpers of it would escape or, even worse, be noticed.

Later, driven by the desire to connect, I began to infer how I felt. Inference felt safe because there was room to move back, to have plausible deniability. And so, I danced in this liminal space, breathing life into subtleties. I felt most alive twirling between the lines, and in many ways, it became a language in itself - for me and for others like me.

As I moved through life, I became much more direct with my words - intentionally so, shaped by the experience of harrowing loss. I didn't want those I loved to ever be unsure of how much they meant to me.

You can read as many motivational quotes or stories as you like, but until you take true agency over your life and claim authorship - rather than passively allowing narratives to be written for you - you will remain a character in someone else's tale. Instead, dare to listen to your own inner narration. It has been speaking to you since your first breath - you have simply not allowed yourself to become fluent in its language of intuition. Not everything requires proof. Cite yourself. You are the only authority you need.

Modern society has made drastic efforts to define what love ought to look like - yet, for me, love has always been formless, boundless - above all, it has been a lesson in relinquishing attachment to expectations or the desire for anything in return. To see love as a state of being - a genuine compulsion to give - simply because their contentment, health, and wholeness matter. For to love does not grant us the right to demand a place in their life.

Love, in many ways, is freedom. To love them in a way that transcends mere constructs, that flows with a quiet divinity - this is how you know it is real.

In a world of transactions, choose agape.

Sometimes, we reconnect with those from our past, not to rekindle a lost dream, but because when we are in a deep introspective space - we crave meaning. The people we return to often hold deep significance - one of the greats, or the major - whether we consciously or subconsciously realise it. When we are adrift in our endless oceans within, we often begin to forget what home feels like, because home is resonance above all else - where we felt our mind, heart, and soul were not only seen, but known by another.

The people we gravitate towards were often once our homes, and perhaps, to an extent - still are. They are portals to a part of ourselves that has always lived in them - because, at one point, a sacred space within us was once unlocked by them - when they walked through effortlessly. And so, in their presence, there is and always will be peace.

The soul always knows better than the brain. Do not overthink and subsequently overreact to things in a way that contradicts your soul. Connect to yourself by listening to your intuition and asking simple but fundamental questions. It will give you simple answers. They are true.

How To Stop Overthinking Everything.

Take a deep breath. Hold it. Count to five. Exhale. Repeat as often as necessary. Talk it out. Take a break. Take a walk. Take some time for yourself. Ask for help. Remember that no one is thinking about you as much as you are thinking about you. Consider this to be a relief. Understand most things are forgivable, including you. Stop defining yourself by your mistakes and simply learn from it all instead. Stop judging other people for their shortcomings and forgive them while you're at it. Sit with the quiet. Check the facts. Check yourself. Check the front door once. Choose compassion. Remind yourself that preparing for the worst does not make you more prepared for the worst; it just makes you suffer. Trust that you can get through anything that comes your way. Trust your judgment. Trust your heart. Live from a place of hope, not fear.

Stop beating yourself up for every mistake you make. You are human and you make mistakes. You don’t have to know everything about everything on this planet. You came to this world to learn. Every mistake you make is part of your progress. Let your mistakes make you better.

In the end, we don't just want to be remembered by the hearts of those we have loved - we want a piece of us to live on through them, in their day-to-day lives, as their inner rhythm - because it means they embody a part of us due to inspiration - that a fragment of our soul is breathing in unison with theirs. There is a gentle comfort in knowing that a part of us remains there, walking beside them on their darkest days - not to haunt, but to accompany. Perhaps that is what divine love is.

Those who have befriended solitude often question whether it is their own fault that others do not understand them - not because they doubt their worth, but because they carry the burden of nuance in a world that flattens meaning. It isn't that they are unwilling to connect - it is because they invest wholeheartedly, harrowingly deeply - they are guardians of something too rare to hand over lightly. Thus, and rightly so, they have a high threshold for investment - because, for them, mediocrity is a cancer, and only true resonance feels worth the risk.

Almost all women will love you more in fantasy than they do in reality, because when her desires are projected and her capacity untested, it is easy to worship, dote, and yearn. But if she comes to love you *MORE* in reality than she did in fantasy? You must marry her. Very rare.

Life isn't a game of half-measures. You've got to vibe with it for it to vibe with you.

Take what you think is unhinged, break down your perceived barriers, and go beyond them - for these barriers don't actually exist - you only believe they do. You contain yourself through your mind. Be courageous and follow your intuition with ferocious tenacity.

Best case, you win - worst case, you've got an outrageously good story to chuckle at later.

You only live once - so live.

First-born daughters are their own source of self-undoing in love. Yet, they are often deeply pure and sincere in their affections because they have always been of service to others and feel profoundly responsible for how others feel - above their own emotions and personal desires. So much so that they hold an ingrained belief that they must earn the right to be blessed with true love - or that they do not entirely deserve it. They often have trouble receiving love and truly letting go to allow themselves to express love with utter reckless abandon - because love feels so good, too good - and things that feel good, which belong to them alone, feel selfish. They feel most at home by being needed - motivated to achieve so that they can give more, not understanding that to give in a sustainable manner means giving from an overflowing cup.

I don't write to "cut to the chase", I write for pleasure - much like how I paint. It is to take the reader on a journey with me. I want to inspire and heal with my words, because they have accompanied me through the darkest of nights. Thus, what I write are creative pieces through which I can release pent-up creative and emotional energy - energy I would otherwise have to suppress. It is my escape, indulgent in every way. It is something I will not change.
