A lot of us don't think about those three little words. As goes for me, I think about them every day of my life. Those three little words mean SO MUCH to me. At the beginning of high school when i hadn't even been through anything big (though I thought i had!) I told myself that I would never tell someone I loved them unless I truly meant it. Sophomore year, my first boyfriend, I said I love you to him! We all know that pointless so-called "love" when really, what you're feeling is infatuation. After I broke up with him, and grew up (just a little) and told myself that again once more. Since then, I have never honestly said it to someone and meant that.
I think that there are different levels of "i love you." I tell so many people I love them in a friend way. Because I do-love one another, right? Then when you have a boyfriend, or someone you've been dating, you want to say it, but you don't mean it as in the I love you, we will get married when we're older kind of way. I don't know if this makes any sense to you so if it doesn't, sorry! To me, those three little words mean so much. It's hard for me to say it because I have had my heart broken before, and I thought I was in love. But of course..I WASN'T!! I think it's very rare to be fully in love when you're 17 years old. Especially when I haven't even experienced the things you usually experience in a mature relationship. Think about those three little words, and don't get caught up "in the moment." Don't get confused between the difference of infatuation and love. Because I have been there, and at the time, you really do think it is love. It's crazy because when you look back from your Sophomore year, just 2 years ago, I am a completely changed person. If you learn from everything you do, and learn from the mistakes you made, you will look back and be glad and proud of the person you are today.
