do i use that word too much? some people think so. i mean i suppose i do use it quite a lot, but i feel like i honestly mean it when i say it. and no i don't usually mean that i'm "in love" with that person i mean that i have loving feelings toward them, that i love spending time with them or that i love things about them..there are a lot of people that i truly honestly love and i'm not going to be afriad to say it to them, i mean no i don't love them in a romantic sense, not at all, i'm not into girls or anything, but i have a lot of friends that i love...too much for words even, it makes me giddy just to think of spending time with some people i love them so much, and i don't see the issue with me saying that i love them. when i fall in love and i say that to the person i'm in love with it will be such a different kind of i love you, i mean i realize that the word is overused in today's culture but there's a difference between a playful i love you when you tick someone off and ur teasing them, and an i am in love with you i want to spend my life with you...see the diffference? and yea i can see how the word doesn't hold as much meaning if it's used a bunch but with me, personally, when i use it i knwo that the people i say it to know whether or not i mean it and in which way i mean it...i'm either extraordinarily goofy about it or i'm beaming with i just want to hug you i love you so much. i really do love people...i know that in my soul of hearts of hearts. it's like this overwhelming wave of joy and just wanting to be around them and talk to them and hug them because i enjoy them just that much and i think that if a person (me) enjoys a person (them) to that so much of an extreme, that that person (me) should be able to tell that person (them) that they (me) love them (them) and not get beef from some other person (some other person) about it. if they (some other person) even knew me and what i was like then they would know that i really mean what i say, that i'm not just spouting it off all the time. i'm not one of those date all these guys and tell them that i love them types. and the people that i say that i love are not boyfriendy types, they're friends, mainly girls anyhow. it's not misleading because i'm not saying it that way, it's not conveyed taht way and the people that do fall for me are not the people i've said it to anyhow..and that's a whole different issue.
my whole point is that yes i do think that the word love is losing meaning in today's world and that being as that is the strongest word we have for that emotion that it is tossed around carelessly and yes i definately think that people should think before they just say it..but the point of the point is that i do not feel (no matter who hypocritical you may think this sounds, i maintain that it's not) that i misuse the word, yes i do perhaps overuse it, i'll admit to that, but i do not believe that anyone besides me should be able to judge whether or not i do in fact love the person that i say i love...if i'm saying it i mean it ok?
changedfish- i love you?
