If you're reading this chances are no matter how insignificate you believe our relatioship to be, seriously, I love you, and more than you deserve. My God has made my heart full. Every person I meet I can't help but love. Interestingly what gets in the way of my showing that love is my fear of how I might be precieved.
I've read that people have different ways of loving and even preferences of how they like to be shown love ("Five Love Languages"). Touch, Verbal Affermation, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Quality Time. Naturally, I tend to show love via touch and verbal affermation.
Because I've had amazing family and friends that have expressed and allowed me to express that I love them I believe that I can more easily express love. One of the things that I often start on a set I'm working on is saying I love you to people I work closely with. It's amazing how quickly it catches on and how people respond. It's always a little scary to throw it out there the first time though. By the end of the shoot we're all saying I love you.
There is a lot of power in the words "I love you" though. I don't say it to female colleges unless I'm sure how it is understood. While dating Danielle we made the decision early on not to say "I love you" till we were engaged to be married. It could have made things move faster than we were ready for. When it came time to propose all I had to say was "I love you," and she knew immediatly.
It intesting that the longer you wait to say it the harder it is and the more weight it seems to carry, even with friends and family. Go ahead and give a little love.
What a random string of thoughts you just followed. Next time you see me let me know if you have any love for me, I'll return the favor and know you read the blog.
