Does God love us unconditionally?

Peace be upon you, I grew up in a non religious Muslim sunni household household, and eventually I started looking into sufism and I'm fascinated by the core of it.

Can someone please give me introduction to become a sufi and connect with the Devine

I'm not sure if this is depression or not, but I have started to feel very lonely. I've always been lonely and used to like it, but as I turned 16, this loneliness has started to have a huge impact on me; I feel a heavy emptiness in my heart. I hunger for love and not the romantic type but the unconditional, pure, true love from someone...anyone. My father works abroad, and my mom is with me , but I'm extremely lonely, you can't talk to your parents about everything or even tell them how you feel because most of the time they're going to think you're crazy. I live in a small town in Tunisia, and I happen to be "different" from everyone else around me in school, having different interests, enjoying philosophy and poetry, not into gossip, not doing what teens like me are "supposed to do", and the ignorance has made it so hard for me to find friends I can relate to, cause most of the time if not always I'd get called "weird" ,"bizarre" or "not like us", I'd get strange looks from doing the most normal things like reading a book. In the town I live in, the majority of the teens are not very interested in education, art, or anything at all besides gossip or things I find them to be a waste of time, that's why I get mocked for trying to be educated or artistic. I've been feeling this way for almost a year now. Someone please provide me with advice

On a spring afternoon we met

And underneath an oak tree we sat

On my lap you rested your head

While I read you stories from a book I had

I let my fingers get lost through your hair

And my mind in your charm, I wonder if you were aware

But your hand was lost through the flowers around

You said you wanted to make me a floral crown

Then your eyes met mine

Yours were like Amber when they shine

You told me mine were like the tiger's eye

In a beat, you sat up, not once had your stare left me

Little did I notice, our lips were clinging gently

As the kiss deepened, they began to dance like two swans in a lake

They fit perfectly as if they were to each other made

It took me by surprise how sweet you tasted

I thought for a second that I'd fainted

And visited my magical fantasy

I was claimed by ecstasy

But that love of yours was real

Yet, it felt like the word disappeared

Long ages became a second

And our kiss ended

Then you pulled back and smiled ever so gently

And whispered "I love you" ever so softly

Your love has possessed my heart and mind

For I can’t no longer think or feel the things around me

I can’t hear the beatle that sing at night

Nor can I hear the rain tapping the window behind me

My heart grew wings and flew away

Seeking its home where it can rest

Where it can hide from the day

Where it can love to the maximum best

Your love is a tiara that only made me fair

Perfect, and ineffable

But it’s a shoe hurts the foot, no one dares to wear

Sore, unbearable

I heard that beauty comes with pain

But so does love?

Wrong was my belief that the lover is a saint

An angel sent from above

Yet I refuse to conquer or fight

I choose to suffer for thee

Until it’s clear the heaven’s light

I’ll await the time it’s you and me

Trapped in my castle, cold and lonely

Counting the days till my prince can hold me
