What Love Really Means

Love. This is a word we use countless times a day. We use it when talking about the simplest things and also the most meaningful things. Four letters that mean the world to people. We all just want to be loved by someone. To hear the phrase "I love you," is one of life's greatest moments. "To tell someone you love them, is to make a promise with their heart." -Anonymous. I firmly believe in this quote. You can't just go throwing out the word love, because then it takes away the specialness and reverence of love. I'm not saying you shouldn't tell people you love them. You SHOULD. You just have to mean it. And you have to back it up with action. Sure, life would be much easier if we could just say things and then move on. But the fact that we can't, makes life so much more rewarding. You can say 'I love you', a billion times, but it won't mean anything if you can't show it with how you act.
