Don't regret yourself; better yourself

“Love is passion, obsession, something you can’t live without, there’s no sense living your life without this, to make the journey and not fall deeply in love, no you haven’t lived a life at all. but you have to try, because if you haven’t tried you haven’t lived.”

I’ve never liked this quote. I don’t disagree with the concept of love but why is it that love for a partner is in such high priority over the love of your family and friends. So basically I haven’t lived even though I’m happy, have great friends and family? Pfft, fuck off.
