it's human & it's allowed
This is unexpected & I'm not sorry. No one talks about the first crush after a break up. That's a lie, Rebounds. But that's not what I'm talking about here people, I'm talking about the kind of crush that reminds you why you ever believed in Love in the first place.

My Hero
In the quiet shadows of memory's embrace, I find my father's love, a timeless grace. A steadfast beacon in life's turbulent sea, His guiding hand, a gift to me. Through laughter and tears, he stood strong and true, His wisdom a compass, guiding me through. With each step I took, he walked by my side, In his strength and love, I found my pride. In moments of doubt, he offered his hand, A pillar of support, steadfast and grand. With gentle words, he eased my fears, Wiping away my doubts and tears. In his eyes, I see the years gone by, A legacy of love that will never die. Though time may pass and seasons change, His presence in my heart remains. So here's to you, my father dear, With gratitude and love sincere. For all you've done and all you are, You'll forever be my guiding star

Assessing Your Worth: Strategies for Self-Reflection
Determining your worth We all find ourselves questioning how far we can go and estimate our value, what we bring to the table, and how much we can foster evidence that we are worth it and that our presence is meaningful in the room we muster up our courage to be in. Ever find yourself in that mindset of having to earn the right to be in every room and beholding your self-worth at the mercy of others? It is exhausting to think that you need to prove yourself constantly. We live in a world where it is easier for people to deprecate and devalue others, trying their best to burden their insecurities on them and make themselves feel superior, rather than honoring genuine human connection and making the person feel heard and seen. While it is easier to forge superiority over connection, empathy and genuine openness to one another are what we need as a community to foster our social well-being.

Something that has one form, but has two meanings
Humans are creatures created to live in pairs based on feelings. The feeling that creates togetherness and harmony is quite disturbing to the soul. That is love, a masterpiece of God with nuances that cannot be denied by reason.
