get you some action.

you hear, many times, that actions speak louder than words. well, they say this for a reason. think of all the situations it could apply to.

politics: 'we will disarm.' this doesn't mean shit until your guns are gone.
religion: 'believe in me and you will have eternal life.' and again, i'll believe it when i see it.
love: 'i love you.' ....

that's what this is about. the i love you. the ILY means so much more in action, but why is it so hard to say? we choke and sputter on those three little words we use endlessly in other situations, but when it comes to that one person there is a huge mental block. very odd. sometimes mutual love between romantic partners is understood far before the energy to proclaim the words aloud can even be mustered.

why is this? does that make it official...and reverse of all other "actions speak louder" situations? it is befuddling, to say the least.

once the ILY is said, mutually or singularly, it should never, ever become a common phrase, in my book. if you say something a thousand times, it loses its meaning. it has a certain seriousness and effectiveness when a rarity that it won't have with familiarity.

if you say "come. come............come...come.." to a dog who refuses to come to you, he begins to think the word is just background noise.

i do not anyone, ever, to think my ILY is background noise. i want them to hear it like thunder.
