“It scares me how much you can love someone and not be loved in return. It scares me to know that there are people that devote their entire lives to someone they love, and that there are people receiving this love, but not valuing it. That all we love, it might never be enough, and there is no way we can simply make someone stay. Nothing ensures that someone will stay, and that's the thing that scares most people about love. It's unpredictable, it's messy, and at the same time, it is what many people live for. I'm just glad I can enjoy the beauty of it in song and literature without experiencing the heartbreak and suffering for myself. I am safe. I love through the eyes of another, in books and films.”
