Has anyone ever truly loved you? All of you? Just as you are? The way you feel? The way you think? Loved you without demanding anything in return, giving you more than you even possessed, because nothing mattered more than your smile? Has anyone ever loved your flaws, seeing them as part of your completeness rather than as shortcomings? Has anyone ever loved your body, every single inch of it, making you feel perfect in it?
Has anyone ever loved you like that?
Has anyone ever truly loved you?
A good question ❤️‍🔥

May this weekend be a moment in which you discover your own strength for change, where every choice brings peace and every smile — a new energy. Allow yourself to breathe, to be gentle with yourself, and to enjoy the simple joys of life.

Wherever you are, stay safe.

A sign of intelligence is the ability to keep asking questions.
The day you stop asking questions, you must understand that your intelligence has ceased to function.
Unfortunately, this happens either because you become too serious, or because you grow narrow-minded, forming rigid conclusions and opinions about everything and everyone.

Everyone in the world sees the rainbow in the sky, but if you are in Iran, you can see a rainbow in the heart of the earth. Among the salt domes in the south and southwest of the Zagros… unique, extraordinary, and mesmerizing. 😍

The biggest problem people have isn’t that they don’t know what to do. The problem is that they know… but don’t do it.

Everyone knows what works: exercise, good sleep, less phone, better food, personal growth. This isn’t a secret.

The problem starts when this sentence pops up:
“I don’t have time. I’m tired. Work, school, responsibilities…”

And don’t fing* tell me it can’t be done. Most people have at least 30–60 minutes every day that they waste scrolling social media, mindlessly swiping.

The problem isn’t time. The problem is that you want to change everything at once. It doesn’t work that way.

Change starts with one habit. One thing you do every day until it becomes normal. For example: a daily walk – 10,000 steps.

Then you add more. Your brain solidifies a habit in about 21 days.

People fail not because they don’t know. They fail because they want to change their life in a week.

Real change is small things repeated for years.

🐢 In Tibetan tradition, we are encouraged to look at life through the eyes of a traveler staying in a hotel for a few days: they may appreciate the room and enjoy the hotel, yet they do not become too attached, knowing that none of it belongs to them and that soon they will move on.

Brick. Porcelain bells. Rotating panels with explorers and aviation pioneers.
One building, one street — yet in them you see the spirit of all Europe.
The same civilization that built Notre-Dame Cathedral, painted Mona Lisa, created cities, art, and culture that still inspire today.
Beautiful Europe.🤍
This is the old, beautiful world.

In Medellín, Colombia, there is a corner of the Manrique neighborhood where, every night at exactly 3 a.m., sandwiches used to appear.

Always the same way: wrapped in aluminum foil, inside a plastic bag, hanging from a lamppost.

No one knew who left them.

The unhoused people in the area waited for them. If you arrived at 3:15, there were none left.

It happened every single night. For six years. From 2016 to 2022.

Never a single absence. Not in the rain. Not on Christmas. Not on New Year’s Eve.

Then, in 2022, suddenly, the sandwiches stopped appearing.

“What happened to the sandwich man?” people asked.

A social worker named Carolina began to investigate. After weeks of asking around, a night security guard told her, “I saw him. He was an elderly man, came on a motorcycle. He hung up the bag and left. Without saying a word.”

Carolina posted an appeal on Facebook, looking for the man who, for six years, had left sandwiches every night for those who had nothing. In two days, it was shared more than 8,000 times.

Then a comment appeared:

“I think it was my father. But he died five months ago.”

The woman was named Lucía. Her father, Hernán, was 68 years old. He worked in construction. He didn’t have much money. But every night he prepared eight sandwiches. And he left them on that corner.

Why?

In 2015, Hernán lost his son, Sebastián, who died on the street, right there in Manrique. He was 19 years old. A fragile boy, struggling with addiction. Hernán had searched for him for years. But he hadn’t been able to save him.

“If someone had given him food… maybe he’d still be alive today.”

So, two weeks after the funeral, Hernán began. Every night. Without ever missing one. Sometimes with just bread and butter, when the money wasn’t enough.

In six years, he made 17,520 sandwiches.

He never wanted to know who ate them. He used to say, “If I know them, I’ll start choosing who to give them to. This way, they’re for anyone who needs them.”

When the story went viral, many people wrote:

“I ate those sandwiches for four years. They saved me.”

“They were the only thing I ate on some days.”

“Today I have a home, a job. But I might not be here without those sandwiches.”

One month later, at dawn, 43 people gathered at that corner. All of them had eaten Hernán’s sandwiches. They lit candles. Brought flowers. Lucía was there, in tears.

“My father couldn’t save my brother. But he saved so many others.”

One of them said, “Those sandwiches kept me alive. Waiting for them every night gave me a reason to hold on. Today I’ve been clean for two years. I exist because of him.”

That’s how a group was born: “Hernán’s Sandwiches.”

Forty-seven people take turns. Each one prepares sandwiches one night a month. They leave them in the same place. At the same hour.

Two years have passed. And the sandwiches have never stopped appearing.

On the lamppost there is a plaque: “Here, for six years, a father left 17,520 sandwiches for children who were not his. Because he could not save his own. Hernán, your son would be proud of you.”

Lucía comes back every month. Always at 3 a.m. To check. And she always finds a bag.

Because true love, even in silence, leaves a trace that never disappears.

And you… what would you be willing to do, every night for six years, to honor someone you couldn’t save?

Good night.❤️
In a world where the most intelligent species can still forget how precious its only home is, I wish you the simple beauty of a true home tonight — a place of warmth, kindness, and peace.
Wherever you are, I hope you feel safe.
And I hope tomorrow we remember a little more how to care for this world and for each other. 🌙
