I think introspection is a beautiful thing. Your prose is beautiful. I believe that the most valuable asset in life is love and these days I feel like it is difficult to find someone who even knows what it is. I could sit on a deserted tropical island, watching the waves and the clouds every day for the rest of my life if I had the right person by my side. I have a beautiful house full of toys, but particularly in the last few months... I've realized that nothing material matters in life at all, and that love is all we need.

But I'm still such a hypocrite. I have people who love me... and here I am preaching like, as-if, I need more than I got!? You might think me to be a jerk for thinking this way.

Is it the right "kind" of love? Is it in satisfactory quantities? Does it get in the way of our other ambitions? Love shouldn't be something you get, but something you give. So if "all you need is love", then giving should be the zest of life.
