“So, there is no point in speaking about love in our world as we only use one another as per usual. There is no need to reject or despise it, this is our life.

“Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.”
