"As humans, we were essentially born to survive. We were born to eat, possess shelter and clothing, communicate and reproduce to keep the tangled chain of humanity going. I feel now that we have completely overlooked our primary needs, that we have looked for new needs. We have turned our ‘wants’ into ‘needs’. We have turned our luxuries into necessities, and neglected what really matters. Beauty is now a must, money is now an obligation, a booming social life is now a part of us that we feel we need. Just remember that beauty will not save you from starving. Money is limited in how protected you will ever feel, inside and out. Being surrounded by others does not particularly mean you will feel loved. Never forget that what you feel you need is only a want. What you feel you cannot live without, unless it’s food and shelter etc, you probably can. Beauty is a bonus, not the initial point. As long as you have love and a heartbeat, you will be fine. Trust me."
"Have you ever felt a potential love for someone?
Like, you don’t actually love them and you know you don’t, but you know you could. You realise that you could easily fall in love with them. It’s almost like the bud of a flower, ready to blossom but it’s just not quite there yet. And you like them a lot, you really do. You think about them often, but you don’t love them. You could, though. You know you could."
