"I love you"

One time in Church, the Priest was talking about one of his past relationships. He would always tell his girlfriend that he loved her, but she’d never say it back. For weeks, he’d say it and she’d say “me too”. Eventually, he brought it up to her and she replied “I want the phrase to still mean something.”

It’s true. We toss that phrase around and we don’t realize the gravity of that statement. I’m guilty of it too probably, though I usually don’t add the word “I”. The phrase “I love you” should be reserved for people you genuinely care about. People who you’d hate to lose and you hate to see miserable. People who you’d never feel ashamed of being with. Now, I am talking about all forms of love, family, friendship, and the typical romantic.

I know that there’s a lot of things that I say, but I really want people to only say the above phrase if they mean it—if and only if. Loving someone is a serious thing and if you don’t feel the same, don’t force yourself to utter these three words. You may think that not saying it back will only make the person feel worse, but trust me when I say it doesn’t. When you tell a person you love them back and they are a genuine person, you’re opening a door that brings you closer to them. If that’s not one of your intentions, please save them the time and of course any further pain.
