Illnesses are things that make us sick and aren't good for us. They hurt us and make things more difficult. Love is something that gives you a reason to keep going and makes you feel really happy, it makes you feel comforted even when you're in pain, and it means you have someone who you want to turn to and can no matter how horrible you're feeling. If it's romantic then.. well, you can do other things, but love itself isn't a bad thing. It's what gives passion to art and makes everything feel worth it. You can feel love for your family or your friends or a guy that you really want to be with...

I don't think that anyone should have to go without experiencing love at least once! So even if you don't understand it.. you should still try it, Anonymous. Even just once!
