Love People

Don’t lie to people who love you.

I tell people that I love them. Love has never been a word or an idea that has scared me. I believe in it more than I believe in most things. Someone said somewhere that humans need love so much because it is the closest thing we have to magic and I am so terribly struck by that. It’s so true. To love and feel loved is truly magical. I say it all the time because I never want anyone I love to feel worthless. I couldn’t stand that, it would kill me. I guess I mean that I say ‘I love you’ all the time because nothing makes me happier than hearing it. You fight hardest to give what you need the most. So, I don’t think ‘love’ should be a special word reserved only for the ones closest to you. I think love is the idea that you would miss someone if they were gone. That’s what love means to me. I love my friends and acquaintances and teachers and coworkers and family and strangers and everybody. Dear reader, I love you. I would miss you if you left this world in search of peace.
