Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-plugin-bluehost domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Can love be unspoken? I used to think so.<\/p>\n
I used to think that if I thought very hard about my love for someone, and did things that expressed my love, and hoped that my love was understood, that it was what I needed, or wanted. It took awhile, and a lot of hurt, but I can now definitively answer “No.” <\/p>\n
Let me ask you (“you” being myself, in this case) a question.<\/p>\n
Why would you choose to stay quiet if you are in love? If you truly are, and not just infatuated, or obsessed, or crushing, then you feel a particularly strong way towards that person. Wouldn’t you like them to know that? Shouldn’t they be aware, so that they, and you, may act upon it?<\/p>\n
I prefer to say this aloud now. I try to tell my wife that I love her every single day (if it’s anything like this daily blog, I’m failing hard). I tell my family that I love them. I tell my aunts and uncles and cousins and friends whenever possible. It’s not a sign of weakness. It doesn’t make me less of a man. It allows me to show my gratitude for their love towards me. <\/p>\n
So if you could choose, will you stay silent for a long time, or will you tell them right away? I’d rather be realistic in my love for others. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
