Love is everything. Everything. If you have never experienced love, then it makes no sense when somebody else talks to you about love and you can't factor it in your calculations. And you will never, ever feel safe without love in your life. If you've never felt it, your life is so much less than it could be, and so much more fearful than it has to be. If and when you actually discover what love is, and you experience it with one human being on this planet, and you experience legitimate, real love with one human, whether that's a friendship, a partner, anybody, it changes everything. Because the world has 10 new colors in it, 10 new smells, 10 new realities. Everything opens up in a way that never existed before. And suddenly things start to make sense, and there is suddenly joy and hope. And that is important.
