love..a strong word? Options

[enyceXaddiction]

recently i have stop using the word "love" usually whenever i have an crush on someone i go "i love him so much" or when i have a boyfriend i go throwing the word "love" around like its nothing

then my friend Jane [iNYCxSHORT] told me to think about it, do you really LOVE him? love's a really STRONG word. it means you would acctally jump in front of a bullet for him. ever since i've been thinking about it. its true. love is an extremly strong word. and when people use the word love like its nothing, & go "oh its just a word your over reacting" i get annoyed.

you dont HAVE to use the word love you can replace it with something else that means somewhat like it. like me for example whenever i mean to say "i love you" i go "i heart you" or "i <3 you"

am i just over reacting? or do you agree?

Well, how can you tell you're in love then?

That you would Jump infront of a bullet for them? That doesn't work for me, because I feel that I could jump into a bullet for any of my friends.
Mutilation? How could you know?

You can't really KNOW you're in love, so in theory you could almost never say love to anyone outside family. Even when you're married, same deal applies. You sacrficed some things, but people go into marriage without love.

So how do you KNOW you're in love?

My theory is, you know your in love when you can see them at thier worse and not care. When you can truthfully say to yourself, I would die to help them. Where you can still love someone even if they had gotten 3rd degree burns the next day all over their body.

At least that's my opinion. Feel free to critique it.
