Just because someone is not around to appreciate the complexities of who you are does not mean that you deserve anything less than pure joy.
Implication here is that the person who will perceive these complexities has to be someone else. That this pure joy will be external, so it has to come from another person. How about recognizing that joy in myself?

“The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are things you get ashamed of, because words make them smaller. When they were in your head they were limitless; but when they come out they seem to be no bigger than normal things. But that's not all. The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried; they are clues that could guide your enemies to a prize they would love to steal. It's hard and painful for you to talk about these things ... and then people just look at you strangely. They haven't understood what you've said at all, or why you almost cried while you were saying it.”
