It's such an important reflection where we find ourselves on the macro scale of humanity, but our own individual lives, learning how to love better. And for me, I feel like I've really devoted trying my best to become a presence of love in life. And redefining like what does that mean you know for me and i'm curious when i say that becoming a presence of love what comes to mind for you
