??What does it take to make someone love you??
??A hug??
??A kiss??

??What does it take to escape from this world??
??A blade??
??Or a friend??


??What does it take to make a friend??
??A smile??
A word??

??What does it take to love??
??A heart??
??Or a soul??

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I can connect to this, a lot. I love it. Never give up; you do matter, and you do have a talent and greatness in you, because you do. Thank you so much, for sharing this.

Exercise to stimulate, not to annihilate. The world wasn&#039;t formed in a day, and neither were we. Set small goals and build upon them.
