About This Quote
Love is more about being the right person than finding the right person. We all yearn to be loved and as such we all try to be loving and kind. Unfortunately though, we put too much emphasis on finding the “right” person and not enough on being the “right” person. People can be charming and loving, but many times they lack sincerity and kindness.
When we love people and do so out of obligation not out of true love, we suffer but they don’t. They walk away with a smile on their face and we feel empty inside. If we love someone enough to give them our best, we will never regret giving our heart away.
