Who taught you how to love?

Who taught you what it means to truly give?

Who taught you how to open yourself, the risk to be willing to receive?

When did you learn the difference between desire and devotion?

How did you learn to stay soft even when the world is prickly?

Where did you find the energy to locate your hope?

How was your intention to try again sparked?

When did you know it would never be like a curated photo it just is, like this?

What do you now know that you would letter in gold pen without regret?

Who taught you how to love?

Who will you teach?
