Love isn't measured by what you give/provide… It's measured by how you show up. She doesn't need perfection. She needs presence.
This body — it's the only vessel you've got. Responsibility used to mean grind harder, earn more, achieve faster. Now it means rest, recharge, and protect your energy — so the best version of you can actually show up for others.
Real growth doesn't start when you hit your goals… it starts when you stop lying to yourself. True success isn't built by climbing faster. It's found in the moments you finally stop running...and take time to enjoy the journey.
