How to tell the people who i love, "I love you" more often
It made me
feel good...yeyah!
 "Sure, It can be rather awkward, but you will never know how good you will make others feel until you say those words and mean it."
How I did it: I personally found it hard saying "I love you" being a bloke and not exposing your vulnerable side and what have you. Also I'm a person who doesn't take these words lightly. It came to me when my very straight and very sober mate told me that, and I was like "gee dude, what's up with that?" I guess I just never said those words, at least not to my bros. I thought it was way awkward, but then I also thought, if he can have the confidence to say that to me, then I can too. And I knew he was serious that time as we weren't kidding around. Eventually I found myself saying the same thing to my friends and more so to my family. And what I have noticed, which was really cool, was that they also said 'I love you" more often to me, and my mates (of both sexes) are pretty much the same. How about that eh? Lessons & tips: I guess we all have to learn how to stop thinking of ourselves, be selfless, and just let others know how we feel about them. Who knows, maybe you can make someone's day just by simply letting them know that you love them, it doesn't even cost anything. It's way powerful if done sincerely. It may always be awkward at first when you aren't used to saying it to people who you care for, but really, what's the worse thing that could happen? So far I'm still alive...you can take that as a good sign. |

telling the people you love “i love you” is wonderful.
i told my dad I loved him for the first time in several years.
i know that sounds strange, and i’m okay with that- but my dad and i haven’t been very close… well, ever. And I’m working on that.
So, when i said “i love you daddy.” and he said “love you, too, munchkin” it made my heart very happy.
did i mention I’m almost 23 and my father still calls me munchkin? :)
tell everyone you love them.
carpe diem, for we are food for worms.

i am leaving tomorrow for hawaii. i will be gone for one week. then i have two days of rest and laundry and i am off to europe, where i will be staying till the middle july in austria and hungary. i have been busying myself with goodbyes this entire week, and i am remembering now how bad i am at saying goodbye. i think its cause i’m scared. i’m scared everything is going to change whilst i am gone, scared everyone is going to change. many a halting “iloveyou” has tumbled off my tongue recently.

I live kind of far from both my folks so I just emailed them both randomly to tell them I love them. I know it will make them smile when they open it, and it made me miss them less too.

Even if we’re not IN love with them (i.e. family, friends) we should still let them know they’re appreciated.

I have found that saying I love you whenever and where ever I think about it helps me remember to say I love you to the other people I love.

Love really does hurt
2 years ago
At the time when I wanted to profess my love to my best guy friend, I was not sure whether I wanted to continue to be his friend, or if I should give into my romantic thoughts and feelings.
Let me give you the update. March 11th, I met Ryan. March 17th, he kissed me for the first time. March 20th, he said “I love you”, that same night I also said “I love you”. We were dating for a while and the moments together were pure magic. I went to Hawaii with him and his family. The memories from those few days are absolutely beautiful, I can only smile when thinking back to those summer days. We went too far in terms of intimacy… we decided to cool it off. For 2 weeks we didn’t see each other and I felt like my world was going to end. I fell in love with Ryan and it seemed that I could not live one day without him. September 11th, we decided to stop dating, because we couldn’t control ourselves and we feared that if we didn’t officially “break-up” we might end up having sex. No harm done, I was actually relieved. We decided to still be friends and I was glad that at least he wasn’t completely gone from my life. Christmas, I went to see him and just after he gave me his presents, he kissed me. For those 2 seconds, my heart was lifted and I was in heaven. Later I told him that I was still in love with him. He said, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have kissed you. Today Jan 15th, I am still in love with Ryan. I am tortured by my emotions which I struggle with each day to conceal. I love Ryan with all my heart and I would marry him in an instant. I see him from time to time, but it is too painful, because I know that we have no future together. Crying every day really isn’t a good pastime. Falling in love is a precious gift, and to lose your love is unbearably painful, so to anyone who reads this, please be careful. If you want to tell someone that you love them, please make sure that you are ready to commit to the relationship and stay within your boundaries.
