"i am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other."
:: perks of being a wallflower
wanna know a pet peeve of mine? people {mostly high school/college girls} throwing around the phrase "i love you!". like it's an automatic response to a "yes/no" question. if anyone is a friend or even an acquaintance, they immediately get the "i love you."
oh yes, even their guy "friends". i think that's called flirting? hmmm.
i fully understand there are different levels of love. there's a love for family, friends, romance, and the love for our God. the kind that runs deep. but please explain to me why some are so careless when letting these words slip out their mouths? ever heard of "don't say it, if you don't mean it?". whatever happened to guarding your heart? i'm sorry, but not every single person that crosses your path will be your best friend. nor can you trust everyone.
i was once tossing around the idea with someone that we befriend the kinds of people that share the same personalities/characteristics with. i think you know exactly what i mean::
the mean girls
the jocks
the nerds...
cmon, now! it's true! & love limits itself... it's our automatic, selfish response as a human being... you wanna stick with your clique. and those are the people we love. but that's not real love now is it? if you "love" someone unlike you, it's never has the same quality or closeness.
real love isn't comfortable. choosing to love the people that are nearly impossible to wrap your arms around is probably the rawest form of love you can imagine. therefore, choose your words carefully. using the word "love" is vulnerable. and we need to stand true to our words and invest time and energy into the people we love.
words are not enough. chew on that,
