That is such a cool idea. I know when I see I love you I never think it applies to me. I just think, "oh someone's in love" and am either happy, or jealous, or whatever. And sometimes I find myself holding back from saying it when I'm talking with my friends, because love just sounds so heavy, and sometimes impossible in times like these. I posted it in my facebook status, and the first reply is "Me to." (and yes, incorrect grammar, and all). *rolls eyes*
This just got to me in such a big way. Talk about brilliant ideas, right?
I have issues with "I love you" too. Well, not ISSUES per se, but it makes me squirm. I always associate it with, you know, romantic love, which isn't exactly something that I have a lot of experience in. But there are people that I just love. Friends and family etc. So saying it to them always... I don't know. Maybe it just reminds me of the lack of romantic love in my life? It always gives me a little pang. But, I've learned that saying it more and more makes that uncomfortable feeling go away. And I'm glad I say it more, because there are a lot of people in my life who deserve to hear it.
*rolls eyes in agreement* Some people just... don't get it, won't get it, don't WANT to get it. Even as I read that blog post (with this huge, ridiculous smile on my face) I just knew there were going to be people scoffing to themselves SOMEWHERE. But, whatever. Doesn't make it any less awesome. *hugs*
