live for
Cherish above all
To live for something is to regard it as one's primary purpose or greatest source of meaning: She lives for her children, He lives for the weekend.
The phrase implies that without this thing, life would feel empty or pointless.
It can be used seriously or hyperbolically: I live for this kind of drama.
