I learned that the rivers of love are not always safe. That the boats of relationships sailing on them increase their chances of sinking and collapsing the sweeter they become.

Whoever told you that love alone is sufficient, has deceived you. It might be the spark of the beginning, the start of the journey, but it can never stand alone against the shocks and stabs of trials and circumstances.

I learned that there is something more important and more secure than love, something that addresses the mind rather than the passion of the hearts. For the foundations of the mind are always solid.

To remain assured that he will not betray you at the first obstacle is more important. If his affection fluctuates, there is no comfort in his company. Not all relationships are built on love... but all are built on comfort and assurance.

Going to sleep, assured that you will not be humiliated, is more important. The greatest thing you can buy is your peace of mind.

Standing in front of your mirror, confident in yourself, is more important. If it saw you broken, it would also break. But if you stand straight, so will your reflection.

Having someone behind you to support you is more important. Someone who supports you in your fall and rise, who boosts your vision and becomes your salvation.

Care is stronger and more important. Love might be born out of care, and love might die due to neglect. Many people's hearts beat with passion, but rare are those who have the ability to genuinely care. It's a principle from which life springs.

The convergence of minds in a harmonious blend of understanding that is impenetrable is more important. What use is love if you do not understand me and I do not understand you? What use is love if you cannot express it or translate it into reality? Hearts change. At times they're ecstatic, at times they're deceived, at times they're defeated.

Hearing from me and not about me is more important.

These are comfortable relationships. Their pillars are secure, their ports comforting, their shores filled with care.

Not all feelings need a lover. Some feelings need a reliable companion, a friend who doesn't hurt, and a heart that stays with you forever. So don't look for love. Look for someone who makes your smile and your happiness most important.

And do not approach hearts if you cannot stay in them... Do not come close if you know you will leave... We may be hurt by the closest ones, those we build hopes and dreams upon, who then become the reason for the world's darkness and soul's agony, leading us to isolate from life.

Learn to give no matter the suffering. Learn to illuminate dark paths for those seeking the light of hearts, even if your secrets are devastated.

Love alone is not capable of creating healthy relationships. It is blind until accompanied by tranquility, only then it can see.

Stay well, my loved ones...
