birthing is hard
and dying is mean ―
so get yourself
a little loving
in between.”

True love doesn’t wait for perfection. It meets you in your chaos, your flaws, your scars.
It stays when storms rage, when nights feel endless, when you doubt yourself. It doesn’t run from your darkness—it holds you in it.
True love is presence: the quiet “I’m here” when you’re broken, the hand held when you’re afraid, the laughter at your quirks.
It chooses you again and again, even when it’s hard, even when it hurts. It sees beauty in your mess, strength in your struggle, light in your shadows.
Love is not about finding someone flawless—it’s about finding someone willing to grow, to fight, to stay. It’s a promise to walk together, to build meaning in imperfection. #TrueLove is home.
🪷 Buddhist Reflection: True love is not clinging to perfection—
it is compassion that endures suffering.
In #Buddhism we speak of the Four Immeasurables:
Metta (loving-kindness): wishing well even in difficulty.
Karuna (compassion): staying with pain instead of turning away.
Mudita (joy): celebrating even small moments.
Upekkha (equanimity): remaining steady when life shakes.
Love that stays through storms is love rooted in these qualities.
It sees your scars not as flaws but as part of your wholeness.
It chooses you again and again, even when it hurts.
True love is presence:
the quiet “I am here” in darkness,
the hand held in fear,
the laughter at your quirks.
It is a promise to walk together,
to grow, to endure.
#Love is not escape from suffering—
it is walking through suffering together,
with open hearts.

Love rules. Love laughs. Love marches. Love is the wolf that guards the gate.
Love is the food of music, art, poetry. It fills us and fuels us and fires us to create.
Love is terror. Love is sweat. Love is bashed pillow, crumpled sheet, unenviable fate…

I think one of the strongest ways to show admiration and love for someone is to do it publicly. Of course, no one is perfect, we all have to learn, and we make plenty of mistakes. But I believe I’ve achieved many things in my life mainly because I was lucky to have the parents I have.
🎉 Today is my daughter Toleen’s birthday! 💖 She’s growing up so fast, and I’m so proud of her kind heart and creative spirit. Despite all the hardships, she keeps smiling, dreaming, and filling our world with color through her love for drawing and art. 🎨✨
Please send her your warm wishes and small gifts to make her day brighter — your love and kindness mean so much to us. 💕
