How often do you confess your love to the one's that really make a difference. Personally I find it very weird to go upto my dad or mum and say "I Love U."
Probably the only person I can say "I love you" without any reason or event and not feel funny about it is Ankita.
I was chatting with a childhood friend a couple of days and in the midst of a very serious conversation he told me that if someone doesnt say 'those three words' doesnt mean that they dont love u. He told me that if a close friend isnt talking to me doesnt mean that she doesnt love me anymore. They just convey their TLC through their actions. We kind of landed up arguing on this as I just didnt get the point.
I played this whole conversation over in my head yesterday and I realised how true this whole thing was and how most of us shy away from conveying our feelings through words and expect the other person to understand and interpret every action of yours.
There are moments when we really need to convey our feelings and need to tell the other person how much we love them, but there is this whole fear about expressing the love we feel.
We are sometimes very strange people. The only thing we want to say and the only one thing we should say is the one thing we dont say. According to me this is one of the most vital reasons why relationships fall apart.
People who were very important and meant the world to you at some point, no longer know what you upto just because you had lost the opportunity to hold it all together just by saying what you feel for them and what they meant to you.
But since the feeling is so strong and real, and the need to say it so high, we are driven to use other words and the meaning is never communicated the way we intend it to be conveyed.
The other person is left feelings unwanted and unloved.
Therefore we need to listen for love in the words that people are saying to us.
We have to listen for love in those around us. If we listen intently we will discover that we are alot more loved than we realise :)
