The loneliest creature in the world Is the one who loves no one, not even themselves.

Love is the great unifier, the great unifier, the great rejection if solitude. To love is to say, ‘I need’. I need someone, other than than myself. And then, whether your love is reciprocated or not, there you are, no longer lonely. Because you can find connection even in longing.

To love is not to be afraid. You’ve signed up for a ticket to go on the fairground ride. You have willingly sat yourself behind the flimsy safety barrier. Adrenaline pumping, you have decided to sit in anticipation, your heart beating like the judder of a petrol motor.
