The Burning Heart ❤️‍🔥

Death… It’s the ultimate taboo, the one thing we’re all guaranteed, yet the one we try so desperately to avoid thinking about.

Am I scared of it? Yeah, I am. But not in the way most people might think.


It’s not the unknown “afterwards” that terrifies me. It’s the thought of leaving too soon, of not having fully lived, of leaving dreams unfulfilled.

I’m scared of dying before I’ve reached my full potential, before I’ve made the impact I know I’m capable of making.


I want to be here, in this beautiful, messy, magical world, for as long as possible. I want to witness my kids grow up, to share countless adventures with my loved ones, to contribute to our collective humanity.

I want to be a part of it all, forever.


And yet, I know that nothing lasts forever. Change is the only constant, the ebb and flow of life’s eternal dance. I accept that, on a deep level, I truly do.

I know there are countless other worlds, other experiences, other forms of existence waiting to be explored.


But that doesn’t mean I don’t still yearn for this life, this love, this precious moment, to last forever. It’s a flame that burns brighter with each passing day, a fierce longing that refuses to be extinguished by the cold reality of mortality.


And that’s when it hit me: This is love. This burning desire to be present, to connect, to create, to experience the fullness of life, even in the face of its impermanence.

It’s a love so profound, so expansive, that it transcends the limitations of time and space.


It’s the love that fuels dreams, that drives us to make a difference, that connects us to something bigger than ourselves. 

It’s the love that makes life worth living, even when we know it won’t last forever.
And that, for me, is the most incredible power of all. ❤️‍🔥✨
