Through these shared moments, love finds its expression. It's the laughter that echoes through the halls, and the heartfelt conversations that deepen connections. It's the way we listen, support, and empathize with one another, offering a safe harbor in a world that can often feel chaotic. It's the stories we share, the memories we create, and the unspoken understanding that we are bound by unbreakable love. As Gemma says: “If we all help each other, everything will be more well-balanced. Happiness is not money. Happiness comes from nice actions, from a little bit of help for someone who needs it!” Do you agree with that?
