it is my experiences that have led me to believe that we should start categorizing the word love right along side shit, fuck, cunt, damn, and piss! we polite humans feel a tad of anxeity when we utter those words in public, and the responses we get, in the looks from bystanders, is equal in each...maybe a little harsher look when you use 'cunt'...it's a pretty bad one. i have seen people look so surprised when they hear someone say 'i love you', and i find that more than slightly troublesome.
have we, as humans, forgotten what it means? are we scared that if someone says it to us that we have some moral obligation to say it in return? is it a sign of weakness to put yourself out there, all vulnerable and open...just waiting for the receiver of such words to pounce on the opprotunity to crush us at our most open of moments? let me address all those questions...
#1- when i say 'i love you', it means that i accept who you are as an individual, i accept what 'we' are together, and i want all good things for you....it does NOT mean that i want to spend my life with you (if being said to a woman), it does not mean that i am a homosexual (if being said to a man), and it is no way, shape, or form a pick up line.....love does not lead you to bed, at least not in the beginning.
#2- if i tell you 'i love you', i, in no way, expect it in return! that, to me, is not what love is all about. love is wanting someone else to feel great about themselves...it is about recognizing a person's exceptional traits and wanting them to know that you appreciate said traits to the fullest...it does not mean that i am 'in love' with you (that is a whole different blog)!
#3- only the truly strong will tell you 'i love you' with no worries of how you will take it...no worries of how you will react...and no worries about what it does to the future. you should be free when you say it.
saying 'i love you' is not something i do for myself...it is what i do for others....
say it, mean it, and live it....
and please believe in it....
i love you.
