What’s luxury in life

What is luxury in life?
Is it the assets we accumulate?
The expensive cars we drive,
the houses we own?
Is it the branded clothes we wear,
or the fame we chase?
Is it having a family by your side,
Or a crowd of friends whose presence often holds no meaning?
Maybe for the world, yes, these are luxuries,
And though the basic needs of life are much and must be respected,
A house to shelter you,
a family to share moments with,
Quality friends and people who truly stand by your side,
All these are cherished, and of course they matter.

But for me, and perhaps for you, if you believe,
The real luxury is finding someone who loves you beyond the surface,
Who cares for you even when everything is lost,
When all that was said or done fades into the past.

The greatest luxury is that love,
The one that survives every storm, every heartbreak,
That stays even when it’s bruised,
That heals even when it’s torn.

It’s not in material wealth, not in titles or riches,
But in the arms of someone who holds you after the battles,
Who loves you for who you are,
even after the hardest moments.

Don’t lose such a love in a moment of rage,
Life, even in it’s simplest form is beautiful,
Even if you’re caged by circumstances or distance,
When you have that love divine, beyond rules,
Beyond the world’s shallow expectations.

It doesn’t matter how far you are from each other,
Or how life pulls you in different directions,
Or what others whisper behind your back,
Or what the world thinks love should look like.

Hold onto that love if you’re blessed with it,
For it’s grander than any luxury the world can offer,
A love that beats louder than any earthly rules or needs.

This is the true richness of life,
A life where both the heart and the soul find their peace,
And it’s worth more than anything money can buy.

    “The greatest luxury is that love,
    The one that survives every storm, every heartbreak,
    That stays even when it’s bruised,
    That heals even when it’s torn.’
