Maybe the phrase “I love you” has been horribly misconstrued and used in ways that make actually saying it feel disingenuous, but those three words can matter more than everything else. Everybody deserves to hear that they’re loved. From your siblings to your close friends to the nice cashier whose smile brightened your day.
Just say “I love you,” and maybe after a certain point, we can see some change. It’s time to start loving again.

Love can mean so many things to so many people, and it’s said with so many different intentions behind it. It helps to start by understanding your own definition and what you mean to convey.
For me, it’s not something I reserve for only romantic partners or family, but I do keep it to a smaller group of people. I need to feel safe and vulnerable in order to say it to someone, so it often comes with a level of trust that’s been built in that relationship.
Since the pandemic began, I have tried to say it more and more often to those I feel such strong affection and care toward. The past several years have reminded me of how unpredictable and impermanent life can be, so there is no point in waiting.
I probably tell my partner I love them 15x a day because I do and I want them to know it. And I try to text my friends that I love them weekly (more or less) as they cross my mind. Sometimes it‘s just a text that says, “Hey, I love you.”
You don’t need to use the word love frivolously if you don’t feel it but, if you do, don’t hold back either. ❤️

this world is too cold and life is too short to not make sure that the people around you know you love them, that they matter to you. stop this mindset of needing to be nonchalant!!!! if someone leaves you after you tell them you love them, well, they weren’t mean to stick around anyways. tell your friends, your family, your lovers that they are what makes life worth living! that they are sunshine personified to your heart and soul!! the real ones will stay, and they’ll tell you the same. too many people don’t realize how loved they are. 2025 is the year of telling people you love them. flat out.

Tell people you love them.
The rhetoric that “You say it often, you don’t mean it“ It’s dumb.
I always mean it.
*You never know how much someone needs the reminder that they are loved, and tomorrow is not promised for them or for you*

I hate that the lyrics in this album have to be relevant 50 years after it’s been released… sad. I don’t think music can get much better than this though. Beautiful, beautiful imagery with the most heavenly voice to ever grace an instrumental.
