It's Never Too Soon To Say "I Love You"

Because love is all you need.

It's Never Too Soon To Say "I Love You"
thegospelcoalition.org

When you Google search "Saying I love you," a variety of answers appear. Some articles cover when the right time is to say "I love you" is, while others say when the wrong time is or when it's too soon to say "I love you." But, is there a right, wrong or too soon way to say "I love you" when you're telling someone how you feel? I refuse to believe that a timeline exists.

Love, like hate, is a strong word. It has depth and strength, which should be used in a way that expresses both of those traits. But, just because it's a strong word doesn't mean that you should have to wait for some perfect moment to appear to use it. There is no such thing as perfection, so perfect moments are just as impossible. I believe that this way of holding back has an imaginary idea that there is a perfect time to say I love you.

And, although some will refuse to believe it, these perfect scenarios will never exist, making every moment an opportunity to express how you're feeling. Life is short and it'll flash before your eyes if you don't stop and look around. To me, that's the single greatest reason to show the people you love that you care.

I'm a lover in every sense of the word; I love people for everything they are. If I feel it's the right time to tell you that I love you, I will. I've known shortly after meeting someone that I loved them because I felt an immediate connection to them, where with others it's taken longer to realize the connection we share and the meaning of our relationship. And, that's OK because it shouldn't matter when you say how you feel.

The world is so consumed with timing and tells people not to say "I love you" until you've went on five dates or until you've been together for two months or even until your partner has already said it. But, I think that it's never too soon. Love may be a strong word, but it should be used as often as possible. The world could benefit from more love in it, so go tell someone that you love them. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
