The world used to feel heavy, a place where I was barely holding on. I drifted through days, burdened by a weight I couldn’t name. My life was a blur of neglected meals, forgotten routines, and an endless search for meaning that always seemed just out of reach. I was losing myself, slipping into a darkness that felt inescapable. I would often wonder if anyone would notice if I simply faded away. I wasn’t just surviving; I was slowly being lost, existing in a space where time moved forward, but I stayed still. The future felt more like a distant concept than something I was part of. I didn’t realize it then, but I was waiting—waiting for something, someone, to pull me back into the light.
Then she entered my life, and everything changed. It wasn’t just about her presence, but the way she influenced me without even trying. The simple act of caring for myself became an act of love, both for her and for us. I began eating on time, not because I was hungry, but because I wanted to be strong and healthy for her. Drinking water became less about quenching thirst and more about ensuring I would be there, day after day, to share our lives together.
Each day, I find new reasons to take care of myself, reasons rooted in the desire to be the best version of myself for her. My focus shifted from mere survival to intentional living. It’s not that I’ve lost the ability to make sacrifices—I’d still do anything for her—but I’ve come to realize that the greatest sacrifice isn’t giving up my life; it’s committing to live it fully.
In a world full of grand gestures and romantic promises, the idea of dying for someone you love is often glorified. But for me, the real challenge and the real beauty lie in the opposite. I’ve chosen to live for her, to embrace each day with the intention of sharing it with her, to ensure that our future together is long and filled with moments of joy, support, and love.
So, while others might promise to die for their love, I’ve made the promise to live for mine. To live fully, healthily, and joyfully—for her, for us, for the future we will create together.
“And to love is to live for someone, not just to be willing to die for them.”
