ALPAS (2021)

Love is often portrayed as something that holds us close, something that binds two people together.

But real love—the kind that touches the soul—isn’t about possession. It’s about letting go of the need to control, to confine.

True love is freedom.

In love letting go isn’t about leaving or abandoning someone. It’s the quiet understanding that for love to grow, both people need the space to be fully themselves.

It’s trusting that love, at its core, isn’t about chains or conditions. It’s about releasing each other from expectations and letting one another evolve.

When you love someone, you don’t cage them. You let them go—to dream, to seek, to become. And in turn, you allow yourself that same freedom.

We often fear that by letting go, we’ll lose what we love most. But in love, freedom isn’t the opposite of commitment—it’s the essence of it.

When you allow love to be free, when you give someone the room to fly and return on their own terms, that’s where trust is born. Alpas isn’t the end of love; it’s its most profound form.

To love is to allow both yourself and your partner to become the fullest versions of who you are, without fear, without limits. Love is not about holding someone close because you’re afraid they’ll leave.

It’s about opening your heart, knowing that love, when it's real, will always find its way back.

In love, we are not bound— alpas.
