I love you. There, I said it. I Love you.
We don’t say it enough. Reminded of a former paramour (NOT illicit) ended his very first call to me with “I Love You.”
It wasn’t two seconds, he called back with a bon mot ending his call “See you later, Buddy.”
He was probably dumbstruck by what he’d said previously. Heaven forbid I’d believe him.
It was all funny to me. Did I think he was IN LOVE with me? Of course not. It was a sentiment he felt in the moment after a great conversation. His fear was real. Heaven forbid might “LIKE” him or worse “LOVE” him. It’s sad to me so many feel this way about the words “I love you”.
If we weren’t so afraid of what might happen, what WOULD happen? What COULD happen? Well, for starters we might diminish the hate mongering we see so much these days. It’s really exhausting, to read about so much hate. Can’t imagine what it’s like for the haters, how does one’s heart hold that much hate?
Safely, I can say to you I do not hate anyone. Life is too short. Don’t hate those who lie to me – and believe me when I tell you I’ve had a little too much of that lately.
One should never mistake our kindness, my kindness for stupidity.
IF we hate anyone, anyone at all, we are among the haters. That’s where I never want to find myself, how about you?
Let’s have great conversations and tell each other “I love you” before we hang up. Isn’t this a lovely thought? It is to me.
I totally agree, life is too short to hate. Spread love, and don’t be afraid to love, cause that’s where we can learn a lot about life.
Love is the most important thing on the planet. Beatles say it best. I agree, that life’s too short to hold grudges or to live in hate. It sounds like a pretty utopian planet where everyone ends every conversation with “I love you.” Thanks for sharing.
Hmmm, I don’t know… I wish I could be like you. Life will be very peaceful if everyone really can think and act like you. But the reality is not so, after everything I’ve gone through – I don’t believe the statement that people in this world are basically good. Sorry 🙂
Understand your thoughts. Thank you for being honest — that’s a BIG A+++.
I believe in your thoughts. That is a huge plus point.
You are kind, hope you are having a really good day.
I don’t waste my time on thinking about hate. I even make sure I could say I love you to my husband often. I feel happy doing it 🙂 I adore you of having such a very positive character.
Wow! wish we were close enough to have coffee, visit. Please keep in touch. Appreciate you.
Kindness is often mistaken for stupidity and I swear there would be no wars if we just got along better. Your idea of spreading love with no barriers is just not possible. I dont want to pessimistic. Although, I am. I wish we could uninhibitedly do what you want people to do. Call with an I love you. With no repercussions?
Understand your frustration. If we can all remember it starts with us! Thank you for your response.
Saying I love you is never easy. Those three words are not often use everyday. We don’t always say it very often even with our loved ones. If only we could just always remember to love and take care of one another rather than spreading hate.
You are so on point. Your wishes for more love can make a difference. Take care and be in touch.
thank you for sharing. +++ I love you.
Maybe I could learn a thing or two from you!!! Thank you it help me in something I am going through now.
Thank you for letting me know. Please be in touch anytime if you need to chat through what you are experiencing. Be well. xxb
I don’t say it as much as I want to. Instead I show them whenever I can. I guess I’m too shy to say it.
You know I was shy about saying I love you too, then one day, leaving home I MADE MYSELF say it and I’ve been saying to anyone who will listen! Makes me happy and I hope you find in yourself the courage to say it. Be in touch anytime. Thank you for telling me.
Great post! This post puts me in mind of the song “what the world needs now”.
“What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.”
The world would be a much better place if everyone felt this way and put it into action every single day.
You have made my day.
Thank you very much!
