Quote

I always wanted to be loved.

I do write to be loved; I speak so that I am loved; I work for love; I live with others so that they may love me, and so that I can love them. For me, this is very important, and many, or all, of my relationships are based on that.

I love, but I am not entirely sure how to be loved: how to be seen and known for the utterly flawed woman I am. It demands surrender. It demands acknowledging that I am not perfect, but perhaps I deserve affection anyway.

You can only love and be loved to the extent that you know and are known by somebody.

I am a lover for sure. I love to be loved.

Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.

To be loved is a strength. To love is a weakness.

Not to be loved is a misfortune, but it is an insult to be loved no longer.

I'm not overly focused on being loved by everybody.
