About This Quote
Never think that you are unloved. This quote proves that we may be unlovely, but we are not unloved. When we are unloved, we feel the pain of our loneliness and feel as though there is no one who can love us. However, when we feel unloved, it is because we have not yet experienced the love of others. We may be unloved, but we are loved and we can find true love through true friendships.
