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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
