"The word "love"..."

Love is just too complex to explain in words. Real love is wonderful, it's an emotion we all take for granted. Now, it's been said on here before that's it's over-used, and they were right. People can say that they love a nice cup of tea, but it doesn't make it true.

Back in October, my course did T.I.E and toured and performed to several secondary schools. We went to each school by minibus, and it was on one journey where I had a slight disagreement with the girl I like. I apologised, and she forgave me. I asked light-heartedly, "Do you still love me?". She replied with, "Love's a strong word, Hibernator". I thought about this, and now I stop over-using the word.

Meanwhile, over this last three weeks, the same girl has said she loves me two or three times. I'm not used to hearing the word directed at me apart from my mother or sister etc; and it honestly feels quite weird. While I don't take it to heart and think that it means something, it's made me question. I asked my friend Lucy yesterday if she loves her boyfriend, she said she didn't know, I comforted her with the "love's a strong word" malarchy. Then I told her I love her, and again felt awkward. I shouldn't, as it's just a word, but I do.

The point in this rant: You can say you love someone, and you can say someone is lovely... but they are two very different things.

I'd say stop worrying about trying to put this kind of thing into words. Feel how you feel. Usually it's not words that show people how you feel, so I wouldn't really fret over this sort of thing.

oh and I'm winning the notable election hurrey!

I love you.
But you're green.

Nice try.

What Strafio said, it's all in the context. I've found i barely use it anymore because i dont think people always understand me, i got fed up being made to feel uncomfortable, maybe thats a little sad.

Heh, Hibernator.... you stopped eating for a day 'to stir some suicide emotions'?

Hmmmm.

Some emotionally stunted people in here.

*leaves*

There is never enough love. Love is never too strong of a word and you can never tire it out. The sentiment only becomes enriched with time, the more and more it's said. Here are some fine examples, just to name a few...

"I love your snazzy ensemble today, FFF lovie!"
*Thinks: That green he's wearing looks like wee!*

"I love that song, Flocker!"
*Thinks: Damn, that dude is righteous and so is his DOTD thread!*

"I love you Light.."
*Thinks: ..on a cold day in hell!* *waves*

"I love you Stryke.."
*Thinks: Studying hard to save the ozone layer*

"I love you Sheepy!*
*Thinks: Furry and huggable..*

"I love you Gerrid"
*Thinks: Nordic stud..hehe.*

"I love you Icarus"
*Thinks: What is his problem..? Bwaahahaha!*

"I love you Paradox:!!!"
*Thinks: A natural Notable. Arousing..* :)

"I love you Grixalicious!!!"
*Thinks: King of my heart..*

I finally hear from my guy after a whole day passes and the first thing we excitedly blurt out is how we love eachother so much. If those are the last words I hear from his lips before I die, I will surely die a happy woman.

I'll stop short of going into the Corinthians to ask... Why restrict love and share hate so readily? Love is not the weakness, hate is.

By the way, it's quite sweet to read guys talking about love. Please do continue... :D

Because there are so many more people worthy of hating than there are of loving? Particularly people who create fantasy worlds for themselves where there own unpleasant characteristics get classified as being "cute" whilst turning into the queen of self-righteousness whenever someone is unpleasant to them?

Just a thought...
