Love is our highest word and the synonym for God.
To be 26 years old and lose your left heart ventricle was probably the most dramatic thing that's ever happened to me in my life.
It is difficult to recognize true love, the one which you feel for the other person, when for years the girls, even more than one per night, after concerts would sneak in our beds and were willing to do everything - group sex also - just to stay with Anthony Kiedis and the Red Hot.
You know what's the worst? Being a 16 year old girl who loves a famous Singer, not solely for his looks, but because you truly believe he is talented and devoted and you agree deeply with his message.

Be who you want to be, do what it takes to be that way, and in time, you will have what you want in life.
