Love isn't being so sick you can't sleep or eat or concentrate unless someone says they love you back. Love isn't taking care of or being taken care of. Love isn't any of those things. In fact, those are all contrary to love. They are, every one of them, anti-love actions.
Love is the active, two-way expression of human worthwhileness.
Needs reassurance that it's okay to be here, on this planet, in this time. We lack self- assurance. We are always looking for that reassurance from the people around us. The simple fact is that we need love. We need affirmation.
