The only thing that matters is how much you love. In the end it doesn’t
matter what your body looks like, how successful your career is, how big

We all breathe the same air. We are all made up of the same complex
combination of molecules. We all share the same big bold beating heart.
We’ve just forgotten it along the way. By giving more love, by becoming
compassionate and kind, by forgiving, and by seeing the light in each
person, you will start to remember, and from there you can single-
