Apreciation Quote by Jonathan Antonio Tom
““My problem is that I still believe that love actually does exist when clearly it doesn't. Love today is just an Idea, a word that people toss around and with time has broken it's meaning. The real mean of love now a days is "APPRECIATION" a word that should be use to describe the feeling that most people have, but is not powerful enough to get someone into bed!””

![“...most people who've been around awhile know [love's] just a thing that changes day by day, and depending on how much you fight for it, you get it, or you hold on to it, or you lost it, but sometimes it's never even there in the first place.” quote by Colum McCann](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7a2/colum-mccann-902_day-by-day_most-people-who-ve-been-around-awhile-kn_2856062.jpg)
