i’m not a violent person.

a dear friend hit the nail on the head when she said ‘shirin can be a little intimidating at first, but she’s just a big ball of love.’

so true.

to know me is to know that, in my world, love is the only thing that matters.

and i’m not just referring to romantic love.
i mean, the love of:
a good friend
a parent
a fabulous pair of boots
a past love
a cousin who is more like a sister
a sunny day
a sky filled with fireworks
a patch of grass with dandelions

…you get the idea.

suffice to say i definitely fall into the ‘lover’ category over the ‘fighter’ one. but i just completed a boxing class that was SO freakin’ cathartic.

because in my head i was fighting for the only thing that’s worth it: l-o-v-e. (write that down)
