Din is a 24-year old New Yorker, currently living in Queens . He is a brother, a teddy bear, and your harshest critic, making him a personality that’s hard to completely hate. Through a wealth of experiences in life, he has developed some unique and empowering perspectives on human behaviour and the survival instincts of the human spirit. Coupled with his great sense of humour, these perspectives help him to intrigue and befriend those he counsels and/or advises. He will be entering theological studies in pursuit of his Masters of Divinity and expects that this schooling – while adding to his Ivy League pedigree – will, more importantly, improve his ability to encourage people in truth and love.

Just Checking In

Lady I would like to love you

In a fashion that covers you in your femininity

And in a way that lets me marvel at the woman that you are.

If I could, I would take off your insecurities and leave them in heaps on the floor.

I would make breakfast for you in the morning, after sleeping on my own couch if

it would make you feel more comfortable. I would feel ease at being your

everyman, pleasure at being, for you, your possibility of love, realized.

Lady I would like to love you

But would you let me?

Even when you couldn't get me

Even when I made it hard to understand

Why what I was doing was not what you wanted, even though I called it love?

When what I'm now doing is not how I courted, were you fooled by falling in love?

Would you wonder this and think of me as more frustration than friend?

Should I, therefore, fail to take the risk of beginning what will end?

Speak your heart to me, let me discern you, teach me to trust you

Lady, I would like to love you
