“I think that you can love people without it being the great love.”

Simplified Meaning:

It's possible to care deeply for others without it being the kind of intense, all-consuming love people often associate with romantic relationships. For instance, you can have a close bond with friends and family where you support and look after each other, but it doesn't have to be the same as a romantic connection. Think about how you feel about a best friend—you're there for them, you share joys and problems, but it's different from the way you might feel about a significant other. In life, loving relationships come in many forms. A teacher can have a strong affection for their students because they want them to succeed and be happy. Similarly, a nurse might feel a genuine care for their patients, wanting the best for them even though they're not family or romantic partners. Understanding this can help you appreciate and nurture the various kinds of love you already have in your life. It reminds us not to overlook these important relationships just because they're different from romantic love. By recognizing the unique value in each type of connection, you can build a richer, more supportive network of people around you.
