I was just sitting, scrolling through my phone waiting for replies from a few friends while rereading the old texts and I realized how as humans all of us all find it easy to pour out our dislikes, hatred towards a few people and certain situations but when it comes to expressing love, we often find ourselves tongue-tied.
Whenever it comes to expressing love, we think a lot, fearing if it would be misinterpreted! Well, it happens to me so many times. Most of the words that come from the heart get lost while reaching to the tongue.
I sometimes wonder why saying “I Love You!” to anyone is something that is feared. Has the hate in the world overpowered us so much so that loving people seems like a crime?
Why do we hesitate to express our deepest emotions in front of people? Why is this term “Love” so confined to a few relationships? Why do we have to set boundaries to our emotions especially when it comes to love?
I have always felt, if there is anything that should be controlled or tamed are toxic feelings like anger/lust/jealousy/hate but love, love should be boundless and free. Imagine how beautiful this world would be if we can love people and can express it often without any fear of being judged.
I believe that you can love someone for how they make you feel, for the way they work, the way they look, sometimes you can just love a person for simply what they are and maybe sometimes you can love someone for absolutely no reason at all. In any case, I hope we are able to say it to these people whom we really love that they are loved, without hesitation, without any fear, no matter who they are. What is the shame in loving someone or everyone after all?
I have seen so many beautiful friendships and other relationships losing their essence because of the things unsaid and love unexpressed. As we know that we need to water the plants daily for the flowers to bloom likewise we need to nourish our relationships by expressing our feelings the way they are without any filter, unlike most of our pictures these days.
You might be watering a plant on which flowers don’t even bloom but you might save a plant from dying by simply watering it, by taking care of it. In a world where everyone is too busy running in search of something, I suggest you hold hands of a few and stop them from running for a while and tell them that you Love them!
You can create heaven here around you
Like the one you believe above;
If only you hold this thing tightly,
A thing called Love!
