Men protect women in the physical realm, ensuring safety and security in the tangible aspects of life. In the spiritual realm, women play a vital role in protecting men. This protection extends beyond the physical, involving emotional support, intuitive guidance, and fostering spiritual growth. It reflects a harmonious collaboration, where both genders contribute unique strengths to create a balanced safeguarding in both the physical and spiritual dimensions of existence.

Intelligence

“Sadness is caused by intelligence. The more you understand certain things, the more you wish you didn’t understand them.” (Charles Bukowski)

A certain level of sadness is often a byproduct of empathy and understanding; the deeper our comprehension of the world’s complexities, the more acutely we may feel its suffering.

This poignant awareness of life’s inherent fragility and the pain experienced by ourselves and others can lead to moments of sorrow.

However, this capacity for profound understanding is also a source of great strength and compassion. It fuels our desire to make a positive impact, to alleviate suffering, and to build a more compassionate world.

The very intelligence that allows us to feel sadness also empowers us to find meaning, purpose, and ultimately, hope, in the face of life’s challenges.

I see you

“I see you.

The ones who can’t sleep at night because our soul doesn’t know peace. The ones who look for the beauty in darkness because it’s all we have.

The ones who love the wolves, instead of fearing them.

The ones who play the same sad songs over and over, to feel every ounce of our emotions.

The ones who wake up each day and place a smile on our face for the sake of others, so no one worries about you.

I see you, the ones who struggle to wake up and fight each day.

The ones who have more bad days than good under their belt.

I see you still getting up and trying, even if every ounce of you internally wants to quit.

I see you, fantasizing over the fairy tale, even if life has given you the exact opposite.

I see you never losing hope.

The hopeless romantics, the empaths, the fighters.

I see you, and you are beautiful because you never give up. You’re beautiful because you allow yourself to feel the highs and the lows, and accept that life comes with both.

I see you, but it’s time for you to see yourself, the way the rest of us see you. You are more than enough, and your depths do not make you hard to love. They make you even more worthy of love. And it all starts with the love you give yourself.

I see you, the world hasn’t been kind to you.. but I will.

I see you, because in you, I see me.

And I want you to know that you are not alone.”

Unhappy Man

When a man is unhappy with himself, he will project that unhappiness onto any woman who tries to love him. He will ruin her happiness because he cannot find his own.

So, dear man, work on yourself because a woman’s love is not a remedy for your pain. It is not her job to heal the wounds you refuse to face. If you carry unresolved anger, insecurity, or self-doubt, you will inevitably turn her tenderness into a battleground where she constantly fights for a love you have not yet learned to give.

She will try to hold you, to remind you of your worth, but if you do not believe in it yourself, her words will feel like lies. You will push her away, not because she is unworthy, but because deep down, you believe you are. And when a man believes he is unworthy of love, he will unconsciously destroy any love that comes his way.

You might criticize her, belittle her, or make her feel like she is never enough. Not because she isn’t, but because you feel like you aren’t. A woman in love will do everything to bring light into your darkness, but if you refuse to let go of the shadows, you will dim her light too.

This is why healing is essential. You cannot pour from an empty cup, nor can you build a loving relationship on a foundation of self-hatred. Work on yourself so that when love comes, you can receive it with open arms instead of rejecting it out of fear.

Heal your past, so you don’t bleed onto a woman who had nothing to do with your wounds. Take responsibility for your happiness, so she doesn’t have to carry the weight of both her heart and yours. Learn to love yourself, so when she loves you, you believe her.

A good woman will love you deeply, but even the strongest woman cannot save a man who refuses to save himself. If you are broken, acknowledge it. If you are lost, find your way. If you are hurt, seek healing.

Your pain is not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility. No woman deserves to suffer because you refuse to do the work. Love is meant to be a sanctuary, not a place of destruction.

So, dear man, work on yourself—not just for her, but for you. Love yourself enough to become the man who can love her the way she deserves.

Missing out on; not really living

I wasted a good chunk of my life not living it because I had to consider other people. How they feel, how I look to them, how the things that I do can possibly affect them. I missed out on a lot of things because I had to consider what others would think. Then life rained on me and when I looked around, I was alone. I missed the train and there was no one to accompany me as I tried to find my way home.

It’s funny how in a world of billions, in a way, you’re really all that you got.

Don’t live your life for other people. Do things that you’ve always wanted and forget the second thoughts. Live for the nights you’ll fall asleep with a smile on your face, reliving the events of the day; dress up so you’d impress yourself when you look at the mirror. Gamble for the moments you think would turn into great memories.

One day, you’d look back and thank yourself for the risks you took, for the lessons learned, for the adventures.
