“I love you”  three little words that can mean so much or so little.  In some weird way I feel like our society has idolized and demeaned at the same time.  I love you can be the most important words you say in the world, if the feelings are really there…maybe you are madly in love with someone, maybe you are married to someone, you can love your boyfriend, husband, wife, girlfriend, child, mother father…..Unfortuntely the word “love” can also be used in our society for anything from getting someone into bed, to your favorite food, or your car or even just an idea….we use the word “love” so freely.  I wish our language was like Latin where they have several different words for “love”   to distinguish between the different types and levels of love. 

I have met someone who actually cares about those words…and hearing them means something to the people that he chooses to say them to….it makes them feel special.  Until recently I didn’t understand how special those words could make me feel.  I really treasure those words from this person because he doesn’t use them at random for random things…it means something.  I wish that the rest of our society would follow suit.  I think we need things to make us feel special.  I hope everyone has something that makes them feel special that comes from outside of themselves.  Having self confidence is great and knowing that you are special no matter who else or what else is in your life, is half the battle in my opinion; however, I think it’s also important to be able to experience those other things in life that give you a warm fulfilling feeling.  I am so happy to know real LOVE in my life right now.
