You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.
ADRIAN TANYou are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.
ADRIAN TANSo here you are, in your twenties, thinking that you’ll have another 40 years to go.
ADRIAN TANDon’t work. Avoid telling the truth. Be hated. Love someone.
ADRIAN TANYou will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.
ADRIAN TANThere is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness.
ADRIAN TANIn loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way.
ADRIAN TANThen one will gravitate towards the centre and settle into the average. That cannot be your role.
ADRIAN TANFind that pursuit that will energize you, consume you, become an obsession.
ADRIAN TANYou either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.
ADRIAN TANLife is complicated. It wtarts before we’re ready
ADRIAN TANYou’re going to have a busy life. Thank goodness there’s no life expectancy.
ADRIAN TANLoving someone has great benefits.
ADRIAN TANEach day, you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don’t, you are working.
ADRIAN TANBe hated. One does not have to be evil to be hated. In fact, it’s often the case that one is hated precisely because one is trying to do right by one’s own convictions.
ADRIAN TANIt far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise.
ADRIAN TANYou will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated.
