  I get asked a
        lot, "Whats the most significant thing you learned through the whole
          adventure?"  It may sound crazy, but its something Id been hearing all my
        life.  Funny thing is, I dont know that I ever truly heard it:
            "He loves you.  He loves you so 
          much."  It doesnt matter who you are, or how many mistakes youve
        made, or what anyone thinks of you, or what you may think of yourself.  It
        doesnt matter if you doubt it, laugh at it, or if you love it.  Theres
        nothing you can do to change it or make it go away, and its as real as the ink on
        this page:
