Strive for the real thing ❤️

When engaging in love, commit to it fully. Express your emotions openly to that person. Maintain eye contact and demonstrate passion through fearless kisses. Refrain from worrying about the present or the future growth of your relationship. Embrace life’s imperfections and fragility. Simply love. When engaging in love, do so with the mindset that tomorrow may never come. Cherish every moment as if it’s your last. View the person in front of you as the most extraordinary individual you’ve ever encountered. When engaging in love, do so as if no one else exists. Be insatiable in your desire for their touch, smile, and laughter. Love as if you’ve never considered a life without them. When engaging in love, do so with the innocence of never having experienced heartbreak or deception. Love without fear of pain or vulnerability. When engaging in love, do so with unbridled passion. Love with the conviction that it’s your sole purpose in life. Offer your whole heart to the person you care for. Be vulnerable, and don’t be afraid to get messy. When engaging in love, do so with intention and purpose. Love with every fiber of your being, and persevere through life’s challenges. Choose to love through your actions, words, and decisions. Commit to loving your person unconditionally. When engaging in love, do so with deliberate intention. Refrain from half-loving or making partial commitments. Don’t waste time giving only fragments of yourself, and instead, strive for the real thing.

Love is exquisitely brutal at times – Khalil Gibran

When asked about love, the master responded . . .

When love beckons to you, follow her,
Though her ways are hard and steep.
And when her wings enfold you, yield to her,
Though the sword hidden among her pinions may wound you.
And when she speaks to you believe in her,
Though her voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall she crucify you.
Even as she is for your growth so is she for your pruning.
Even as she ascends to your height and
caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall she descend to your roots and
shake them in their clinging to the earth.
•
Like sheaves of corn she gathers you unto herself.
She threshes you to make you naked.
She sifts you to free you from your husks.
She grinds you to whiteness.
She kneads you until you are pliant;
And then she assigns you to her sacred fire,
that you may become sacred bread for her sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you
that you may know the secrets of your heart,
and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only
love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness
and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh,
but not all of your laughter,
and weep, but not all of your tears.
•
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say,
“Love is in my heart,” but rather,
“I am in the heart of Love.”
And think not you can direct the course of love,
for love, if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires,
let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook
that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate on love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the
beloved in your heart
and a song of praise upon your lips.

A GUIDELINE FOR IDENTIFYING THE EXPERIENCE OF PURE LOVE

Sometimes we may doubt what it is we are actually experiencing and feeling. Often, it’s a mix of many different emotions at the same time, which can leave us quite confused. Is it love? Is it fear? Is it both? A good guideline for identifying pure love is: “Only when you feel free and empowered is it pure love you are experiencing!”

Love “ correction “

“Men Only Correct the Women They Love” – A Harsh Truth

Listen up, men. If you’re letting a woman spiral into chaos without stepping in, you don’t love her—you’re just playing along for your own convenience. Real love isn’t about passive acceptance; it’s about stepping up, holding her accountable, and guiding her toward becoming her best self. If you can’t do that, you’re either afraid or uninterested in her future.

A man who has no long-term plans for a woman will let her “do anyhow.” He’ll let her dress half-naked, smoke, drink recklessly, and act wild because he doesn’t care about her future—he’s just there for the short-term thrill. He’s not investing in her as a partner; he’s exploiting her. And the worst part? Many women prefer this. They mistake his silence for love, not realizing that a man who doesn’t correct them doesn’t respect them.

Contrast this with a man who truly loves a woman. He won’t sit back and let her ruin herself. He’ll tell her the hard truths, even if it stings. If she’s dressing inappropriately or engaging in self-destructive habits, he’ll confront her because he cares. He’s not controlling her—he’s protecting her. Real love involves discipline and correction because he sees her potential and wants to build a future together.

But here’s the problem: many women can’t handle being corrected. They’d rather soak in their emotions, complain to friends, and hear lies like, “You deserve better, babe.” They confuse guidance with control, rejecting the very men who care enough to hold them accountable. Meanwhile, they cling to men who let them do whatever they want—men who don’t care about their future. The cycle is predictable, and the outcome is always the same: regret.

Men, stop enabling chaos. If a woman rejects correction, she’s not worth your time. A woman who truly values you will respect your guidance, not resent it. Correction isn’t about control—it’s an act of love. If you love her, you want her to be the best version of herself. But if she can’t handle accountability, she’s not ready for a real relationship.

And women, understand this: a man who corrects you isn’t your enemy—he’s your ally. The man who stays silent doesn’t care about you; he’s just passing time. The one who calls you out is investing in your future. Don’t confuse his discipline with criticism. He’s building you up, not tearing you down.

The bottom line? Real love isn’t about letting someone “do whatever they want.” It’s about setting standards, holding each other accountable, and building a solid future together. If you’re not willing to correct the woman you’re with, you don’t truly love her. And if she can’t handle correction, she doesn’t love or respect you either.

Stay strong, stay sharp, and demand accountability in every relationship. A woman worth keeping will value your guidance and respect your leadership. Anything less is a waste of time.

Love ❤️

“If you’re going to love, love like you mean it. Tell that person you care. Look them in the eyes. Kiss them with passion and a fearlessness that bubbles up from your chest. Don’t stress over what you have right now, and whether it will grow. Don’t be afraid of the way life is imperfect and fragile. Just love.

If you’re going to love, love like tomorrow won’t come. Like this next day, next hour, next second is all you have. Like the person standing in front of you is the best damn thing you’ve ever seen.

If you’re going to love, love like there’s no one else. Like you can’t get enough of their touch, their smile, their laughter mixing with yours. Love like you’ve never even considered a life without them.

If you’re going to love, love like you’ve never been hurt. Like you’ve never experienced the pain of a broken heart, or the dishonesty in someone’s voice. Like you’ve never watched a relationship fall apart, or two people who once had passion for one another fade into strangers.

If you’re going to love, love with a ferocity. Love like it’s all you’re meant to do, because in all honesty, what else is there? Give the person you care for your whole heart. Show them who you are beyond the layers. Get vulnerable. Get messy.

If you’re going to love, love with purpose. Love with all that you have, all that you are. Love, even when the world makes it difficult or says you should give up. Love through your actions, your words, your choices. Choose to love your person, no matter the ups and downs.

If you’re going to love—damn it, love with intention. Don’t half-love. Don’t ‘almost,’ or ‘kind of’ commit. Don’t waste time giving only portions of yourself so you both miss out on the real thing.

If you’re going to love, just do it.

Just love and love and love. And never stop.”

Love

Love doesn’t arrive wrapped in ribbons or waiting for the perfect hour. It comes in raw, unpolished, exquisite, and untimely, a wildfire shaking you awake. It strides into your life with the person it is meant to, and at the moment, it is meant to—often with purposes hidden beyond your immediate understanding. This soul who knocks on your heart’s door will be beautifully imperfect. They may arrive at the messiest of times amid your chaos and plans half-built, daring you to rearrange your universe.

Yes, real obstacles will challenge your comfort, your patience, and even your belief. Your mind might protest, logic setting up barricades. But somewhere deep within, a knowing stirs, whispering that this connection is fated. Because love isn’t born in easy circumstances, it takes shape in the spaces between trials and triumphs. How you navigate the storms together will define what you build. And love—this love—will always find its way, its root strong enough to break through stone.

Remember, love doesn’t make mistakes. If your soul has called them in, purpose is woven into each moment, stumble, and victory. So trust the calling; listen to the quiet urging of your heart. It may not be perfect or convenient, but if you open yourself to its current, this love could become your life’s most transformative, breathtaking chapter.

Love of your life

“sometimes the love of your life isn’t really the love of your life. sometimes you think you belong to someone to only discover that some where down the line you don’t. sometimes that person is only there to prepare you for someone great, for someone different and someone you were born for. Sometimes you think it’s the end of the world to only find out that it is really the beginning. sometimes old things teach you new things and sometimes new things mean nothing at all. Sometimes the past gives you the strength to face the future and sometimes the future is brighter than you think it is. sometimes when you know think you know, it only means you know nothing at all. sometimes you arrive to only find out you’ve never even left to begin with. sometimes what you love isn’t good for you and sometimes what’s bad heals you in ways you’d never imagine. sometimes when you fall you fly and sometimes when you break you’re gathering yourself back together again. sometimes mistakes don’t teach you much and sometimes a book holds revelations too hard to ignore. sometimes there’s so much in you that you don’t know where to begin and sometimes when you finally begin it feels as if it is too late. sometimes you love the wrong people while other times the wrong people bring you peace. and last but not least, sometimes you have to let go and free yourself in order to begin all over again.”
