Love is one of the most important emotions any human can experience at any time during their lives, whether it be when they are young and inexperienced, or when they are older and more experienced. Love is the most important emotion I have. To me, love is irreplaceable, and it always has been. Love is something so abstract, and that allows it to be romantic, platonic, or even neither.
