“When love ends, everything in our lives becomes worthless. The people around us become just names that our ears meet and our eyes see without them having a real impact on the course of our lives. All means of entertainment become mere decoration in the house, and our lives become insanely boring. All of this pushes us to transform the love in our lives into a higher and more comprehensive meaning, from simply loving someone who may disappear at any moment to loving life and creativity that never ends until the last day of our lives.”
