"we live in a society where we feel like we need to be in love or you're not actually living, it's as if it's our only duty on this earth. at such a young age we are conditioned that we need to be in love by the time we are young adults. but what they don't teach you is that you need to be in love with yourself before you can love anyone else, it's okay not to find the love of your life. there's so much this world has to offer, gifts you have yet to receive, love doesn't have an expiration date."
