“Some people never say the words 'I love you'. It's not their style to be so bold. Some people never say those words: 'I love you' But, like a child, they're longing to be told.” This is a quote from Paul Simon of the Simon and Garfunkel. I found it very interesting. When you really think about it, it really starts to make sense. I myself have never said these words to my mom, dad, brother, or even any girl. I find the sentence awkward. Why? I am not sure. I assume that my family knows that I love them. Saying these words explicitly somehow show unmanly traits, so it seems to me. I don't know. Saying the same words to a girl, thats equally daunting especially for a guy. It's like baring yourself at the mercy of the one you love. That's what I thought before I read the quote. Now, it seems like saying 'I love you' is such a selfless, brave thing to do. You basically say to the other person, a girl in my case that I love you, I want you to share my life, I want to provide for you, I want you to bear my kids, I want to take care of you. And I want you to accept me into your life.
Another curious blog from me, don't you think???
