Maybe it’s just me but I don’t understand why saying that you love someone is so understated.

Why is it such a strange thing to say that you love someone platonically? It means that you care and appreciate them doesn’t it?

Plus, maybe they don’t hear it often or don’t feel like anyone cares about them. So what’s so wrong or weird about telling someone that you love them?

I try to make a habit of it because nothing is guaranteed and I’d want people to know what they meant to me whenever my time does come.

So, even though I may not know you and in the event that you don’t feel like you are; I love you and I’m glad you’re here. 🤗🖤

That’s the hope but if not that’s okay too, no one should have to feel like they’re alone 🖤

It’s been a stressful one but I’ve done things to make good use of the day. I’m grateful. I just wish I could let go of tension. I can’t quite put my finger on what is bothering me so much. Things pop up in my head but nothing that I think should cause so much strain. I will meditate on it...How r u?

I’m sincerely sorry to hear that but glad that you’re keeping yourself busy. Little can be enough to do it, I’m sure it’ll come to you after a bit. Maybe have some relaxing tea to help ease the tension? Or watch one of your favourite movies, I find that always helps!

Meditation is good too! That’s something I definitely have to learn 😅

I’m doing well, thank you. My carpal tunnel is acting up but it’ll pass eventually. 😊

Why thank you. I haven’t been told that before 😌

I hope that you’re having a good day and doing well! 🤗🖤

Seems you are having a pretty gud day. It is nice to receive love even tho we are far away from each. U know one thing I love about this site is that love if flying in the air. We really feel that love and I am taking it and sending it back to you. Now can I ask, was anyone offended by you sharing this love? Sometimes saying those words to an opposite sex makes them feel somehow unless they are used to females saying it in a friendly manner. Sending much back to you 💌💌💌💌

Thank you hun 😌

I don’t think anyone has been offended they just look at me as if I’m saying I love them romantically or something, like I’m being too forward. I can be pretty forward but I don’t necessarily see that as a bad thing.

I hang out with more guys than girls so a lot of girls (I know in my life) tend to think of me as a “sl*t” because I say this to my guy friends when I mean it platonically. I don’t see the problem in telling someone you care about them but I guess I’m alone in that aspect outside of here.

I hope you’re doing well and thank you for commenting 🤗🖤

Thank u friend me and u are the same

You will not believe that at age 15 my mom sat me down and said she had thrown in the towel because I am more close with male friends then female friends. At first she was embarrassed because neighbors thought she had a bad daughter but as time went on she realized that the love I shared with all my male friends was just platonic. They would come minute after minute checking up on me. One time my older sister visiting from varsity came to where I was sitting with my male friends. She was surprised that I was the only girl among 15 guys. My mom decided to call a meeting and summoned all my friends and told them that if she ever finds out that I am seeing anyone of them, she will take me away from them. Do u know the harm that did? I did not have a bf until I left that place. They would not allow me to have a bf and I had to break up with many bfs. That was sad but I sit and laugh about it now. Belive me when I tell you this, my best friend is a male and we shared a diary back in the days and I realize how much my friends loved me. So when u speak about platonic relationship I get you. Male friends don't gossip, u hardly fight with them. They are honest and would give advice about opposite sex that is why luv them. It's just when we grow up females becomes jelouse and other guys think we are forward. I seriously get u friend.... Lot of love there

I’m glad to hear that you laugh about it now, holding onto things is never good and laughter is always a great medicine.

Males are easier to be around in nearly every way. I also love that they don’t hold grudges, something that many females in at least my world outside of this site, are so bad for.

Much love to you, I’m glad that we can relate 🤗🖤

I feel the same. It’s strange, I just feel so much love and empathy for lots of people. I just want the world to be happy. After I stopped loving my husband cause of his abuse it’s like the love came back to me and is just sitting here, waiting.

I’m sorry to hear that you went through that, no one deserves that.

I think people who have been hurt love the most because they know how it feels to be unloved, at least, that was very much the case for me with my ex.

The world needs more of this though, more people like us, like you.

I know you’ll find someone else, someone who treats you the way you deserve to be treated and who makes you so blissfully happy.

Wish you the best, take care 🤗🖤

Sometimes it is a cultural thing. My mother doesn't say I love you to me, she shows me her love through doing things for me. But I will often hug her and tell her I love her because I haven't been able to do much of anything for her. I need to express that love to her.

gilded_masquerade profile image
gilded_masquerade in reply toSankissjuice

This is true, I haven’t considered that.

You’re also right with how actions mean more than words. I just figure that if I don’t see someone in a while, or in this instance being here, it can still go a long way.

I’m sure your mother knows, but there’s also nothing wrong with showing more. Every little bit counts right?

I hope you have a wonderful day, take care 🤗🖤

Anytime 😌🖤

I'm so happy to find your post today. It really made my day chatting yesterday. Thank you! 🦜
