Would You Choose Fame Over Love?
In Love Don’t Cost a Thing, Alvin got a taste of what it was like to be the most popular guy in school. Girls were fawning over him, and all the boys wanted to be his friend. However, in the process, he alienated himself from his true friends and the one he loved, Paris.
Luckily, he realized his mistake before it was too late. Alvin defended one of his friends from basketball players, and this was his redemption. His friends forgave him for what he did, and Paris knew he was back to the boy she fell in love with.
Alvin’s realization in Love Don’t Cost a Thing is something we can all take to heart. There will be a lot of temptations that will force us to become someone we’re not. But, remember that the only right way to live is by being honest with yourself.
Don’t become someone you’re not because the people who will stand by you are those who will accept you for who you are. You don’t need to change or gain influence to be loved. So, whenever you need a reminder of these facts, read this list of quotes again!
