... but why is it such a big deal?

My family wasn’t that intimate when I was growing up so I was never accustomed to saying “I love you.” Sure, I’ve written it in cards/poems for them but I never said it aloud. At one point in time, both my sisters have told me that they loved me… but for some unknown reason, I was never able to give them a proper reply. It’s almost as if I’m scared or something. I keep telling myself, “It’s just 3 honest words, that’s all.”

And my friends? Ooo, that’ll be even harder. The furthest I’ll be able to go is probably just writing it down in their yearbook. ;_;
