Authenticity Quote by Lokesh Tuli

““You can't find love because you think there’s always someone better one swipe away. "You think you’re discerning? You are treating connection like an Amazon cart. You keep adding, but you never hit 'Buy.' You are terrified to choose one because you think you deserve the jackpot. But there is no jackpot. There is just another human being as broken as you are. And let me tell you, the kitchen closes eventually. You’re going to end up alone, sitting at the best table in the house, with an empty plate.””
