Happiness Quote by Jeremy Limn

“Everybody grows up wanting something. When they learn wanting something doesn't bring you real happiness, they will start to want less. I've lost everything I ever loved, I live less and gain more. I gain more and live more, but I gain less because most real things are not gained.” quote by Jeremy Limn
