Love

I love you.

It is hard to say this to somebody for the first time. I'm not arguing that. However, when you are talking with your family or close friends, these words should not be difficult to say and these are the three words you should say. Not "I love ya" or "Love ya" or "Love you" or "I love you!!!!" There are no word substitutes or exclamation marks needed. "I love you" is powerful enough on its own.

My short 24 years of life on Earth have taught me that nothing in life is certain. The control freak in me hates this, but it is true. I never know when I will talk with someone for the last time and I want to be certain that the last time I told someone I loved them it wasn't trivialized by seventeen exclamation marks.

I love when people tell me that they love me. And I know I'm not the only one.
So, I love you. And that's a fact.

Genius

I waited 20 minutes for my show to go to commercial so I could go to the bathroom until I realized I was watching it on Netflix. I am a genius.
