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"

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.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
