I wrote this because of how easily romantic content spreads across social media today.
It looks beautiful, but not everything we see there is true.
Many people get carried away, thinking love alone can solve everything, forgetting that feelings without direction can also mislead.

People often ask why I still do not have a partner until today.
The first answer is because I am lazy (hahaha, joking), and the next one is because I am still preparing for something better (this is the truth).
For me, love alone is not enough. It needs vision, a long-term one. Not only about today, but also about the future.

I want a happy family, a family with warmth and peace.
A family where love feels safe, not rushed. Where laughter fills the room, and silence feels gentle, not heavy.
A place where both can grow without fear of being left behind, and where every challenge is faced together, not alone.

Love can ignite the fire, but it cannot keep it burning forever.
A man with vision knows that love without direction will only go in circles. He learns to understand himself first, including the old wounds that have not completely healed. The pain is real, the trauma exists. Sometimes, without realizing it, we carry them into relationships, hoping that love can fix everything. But some wounds do not disappear easily. They only sleep, waiting to awaken when something triggers them.

There are nights when we wake up for no reason, only to realize that our hearts are not fully healed. Tears fall quietly, not from weakness, but because the body remembers what the mind tries to forget. In those moments, a man with vision does not run away. He faces himself. He looks at the pain calmly, not to pity himself, but to understand where it comes from.

Vision is not only about the future. It is also about the courage to look back at the past and admit that there are still fragile parts within. Without understanding those parts, it is hard to truly grow. Before walking with someone else, a man needs to understand his own path so he knows how to protect, not just to possess.

There will be times when the fuel runs out, when the warmth of love slowly fades. At that point, many lose their way, trying to relight the fire in the wrong way. Giving too much, speaking sweetly without meaning, pouring everything out just to cover the emptiness inside. That is how love turns into love bombing, giving not out of love but out of fear of losing. And sadly, the woman becomes the one who carries the pain of that unfinished love. She receives affection that looks beautiful on the surface, yet inside hides an unhealed wound.

But a man with vision knows when to pause. He is not afraid to be silent, not ashamed to admit he is tired. He understands that true love does not need to be proven by intensity, but by consistency. He does not rush, because he knows that a healthy relationship is not about who loves more, but about who chooses to stay with awareness.

In the end, a man must understand where his boat is sailing. He is the captain of his own voyage. And when someone decides to sail with him, he already knows the direction of the wind, the waves, and the destination he wants to reach. Because love without direction will sink, but love with vision will arrive.

Love is the fuel, and vision is the compass. Without both, the journey will lose its way. When they walk together, love gives meaning and vision gives direction, and the steps will remain steady, even when the sea feels empty.

If you are a man reading this, ask yourself what your long-term vision is.
What kind of goal are you walking toward?

If you are a woman reading this, ask yourself what kind of family you truly hope for.
What kind of home do you want to build, and who do you want to share it with?
