is a lyric from Satellite by Rise Against

What do you think about that statement?

In some ways, it's easier (and more freeing) to love when you don't focus on yourself and whether or not others love you. But I believe we can love best only after we've experienced the best love.

given up on the expectations, expectations put people and yourself in molds, which restrict them

That could be true... but not like in a cynical way and believing that love doesn't exist. More of stopping trying to control it and thinking you can force it to work a certain way.

Do you really believe those lyric or do you need someone here to validate what you just wrote?

[Betwyn]

I am curious as to others take on it.

The words are not mine, so there is nothing to validate.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I gave up on loving my ex. Don't truly love her.

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

Oh that's BS.
