Love

Love is a four letter nonchalant way to express a high level of fondness for another. People speak of love like they know everything. But nobody truly does know everything about love. It is an overused word that can express nothing but a filler word in a sentence. The steak was so good, I LOVED it. I bought a $300 dress because I LOVED it. People throw the "L" word out like it's going out of style. Love is not to be taken lightly. It isn't something you say to anyone. Once you have expressed such a word to the one you are quite fond of you cannot go back. In an episode of the Nanny, Mr. Sheffield and Miss. Fine are on an airplane, when suddenly, they crash. While soaring through the sky towards earth, Mr. Sheffield takes Miss. Fine in his arms, caresses her, and says perfectly, "I love you." In any normal situation, if you are soaring to your death, you can speak your mind. But you cannot go back on your word. Like Mr. Sheffield did. That is a No No. Number one rule in any relationship. Do not say "I love you" until you are 100% sure you mean it. In relationships, we cannot say the "L" word if we are not prepared for the outcome. If you say it too early, your loved one may think you are moving too fast. But if you say it too late, you may not have a loved one anymore, because they feel there is no commitment. It's like making microwave popcorn. If you take the popcorn out of the microwave too early, there is still kernels not yet popped. It's a waste of good popping corn. But if you wait too long, your popcorn will burn in the microwave, causing a vile smell to enter the room or rooms. And in the end your popcorn is ruined. If you truly love someone, you will know the appropriate time and place to express yourself. You don't need to look for love, it will always find you.
