How well we love

I don't live my life for others, and advice you to follow my lead. Most people don't know what they want, so they settle for rules and the opinions of others. Be brave. Be bold.
In the end, the measure of a well-lived life is not titles or riches. It's not even measured by the people we please, especially at the cost of our own souls.
The true measure of a well-lived life is how well we love...and how well we are loved in return.
