If you want to change the world, love a man.
I mean really love him. Choose the one whose soul calls to yours with clarity, the one who trembles before the immensity of love yet still chooses it, the one who is brave enough to be afraid. Take his hand and draw him into the river of your heart. Let him rest in its current, let him lay down the weight of centuries in your warmth. Let his heavy burden catch fire in your flame and burn into ash, so that from that ash he may rise again.
When you look into his eyes, look past the surface of today. See the boy who longed for safety, the man who fought to become himself, the father, the grandfather, and the ancient bloodline behind him. See the forgotten wars, the silent grief, the unspoken madness still echoing through his body. Know that he carries it all, often without knowing its name.
Look upon his pain, his shame, his unhealed torment without judgment. Offer him your steadiness, your sanctuary, so that he may finally surrender it. Feel the pulse of his ancestral burden, and understand that what he seeks is not perfection but a refuge deep enough to dissolve his rage into tenderness.
Let your gaze tell him he is not alone. Let your womb, the sacred gateway of renewal, wash through his scars and awaken the memory that love is older than war, and softer than fear. Love him like that, and you will not only heal him, you will heal generations.
