I've been thinking about this alot lately.
It’s become so easy to use the word love in everyday things. We “love” things .. we say it all the time.
I am very careful of the words I use.
Because, I've learned when you can’t keep that promise, people don’t doubt you, they doubt love.
Empty promises can be worse than lies.
Because you don’t just make people believe, you make them hope.
When I tell someone I love them, it comes from the depths of my heart. When I say the words “I Love You" ... it is my promise to that person, their heart is safe with me and I will handle with special care. It is my promise for life. It is not a word I use lightly, or throw around or use to manipulate. Because I know the devastation left in its wake when it’s abused.
So, whether it be in this lifestyle or not, be careful of the words you use, because they invoke incredible emotions. Make sure the one you say it to, is worthy to receive it, BUT also make sure YOU are worthy of giving it.
It’s not about the amount of time you spend with someone, it’s about the depth of the exchange.
When it comes to promising love or know you love someone:
Don’t talk, just act
Don’t say, just show
Don’t promise, just prove
Don’t promise anything
Just prove it, day by day
... something I try to do ... because I want the people in my life that I do Love ❤ with all my heart, to know that I will handle their heart with special care and will not break my promise ... ❤❤❤
