Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don't waste your time on anything else.

There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one’s head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people’s pain.

Poets On A Friday In Feb —2026
I just want you to know—in case no one has told you —that you're going to get through this. Some days are really bad, and some we find bits of laughter and ways to keep going in the madness. Sometimes we all spiral from the moments of inhumanity of it all.
But I tell you, you aren't alone. 🤍
~ Ali

If you love someone, you say it.
You say it right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just... passes you by.

the most difficult thing is to love.
Actually, the most difficult thing is to feel loved—
