Victor Hugo said that man needs love. Life without gentleness and love is nothing but a dry, squeaky and tearful mechanism, and, Lord, how right she has in what she was saying. About love you learn by the moment you leave the world and after it.
You can not have a person in your life as if you owned a house or a car, even if you love it, even if you love her sincerely and give her life for her. In life the first is freedom. Love matters, it leaves you free to go and come back, hate and love whoever you want when you want, no matter what the consequences.
In life, love does not visit you once, as your parents have told you. It is your right to fall in love again, to give yourself a new chance, to experience in two and to enjoy yourself, even if you are sad on some days. Sadness is not the opposite of happiness but goes in parallel with it. Like two lovers who lean on each other, like two thoughts that climb at the same time on the ladder of perfection of a righteous soul.
People can comfort you and all people can torture you. Choose people wisely.
