I love you, love ya bye, love ya, much love, there are many different forms of expressing verbally that you love someone whether it be your significant other, a family member, or a friend. I often end a farewell to someone by phone, or in person, or even on a message on the computer with I love you or love ya bye. I NEVER say that if I don't mean it. I think some people get in the habit of using the word love towards someone in vain or because the other person said it first. This is where the confusion comes in when you say one thing and do another. Your ACTIONS reflect your love whether you say it or not. So when I say I love you in whatever form it may be I hope that you are comforted in knowing and SEEING that I indeed love you as a friend, or my boyfriend, or my family. I hope you are comforted in the fact that I don't take that phrase lightly. I care deeply about those that I say that to, I try not to hurt them in any way because of that love, and if I am in the wrong I will go to you to make sure you understand that I love our relationship, or our friendship so that you can see that I care and that I love you enough to make things right and not have things misunderstood. We all make mistakes and we all slip up and the other end may feel wronged by your actions but if you LOVE someone you will do what it takes to make things right which is the action of love.The questions I have for you is this.........when you say I love you in any form, do you mean it? Do you say it out of habit? Do you say it because it sounds good? Do you say it because of the pressure? Do you say it and back it up? I ask this of you........if you say it to me MEAN IT, SHOW IT, REMEMBER IT, and if you can't do those things please don't waste your breathe anymore in the future saying it to me. Because I DEMAND that the love I feel and try to show to the best of my ability to everyone I say it to is given unto me the same.

Expectations
Category: Romance and Relationships
Expect the best and if you are not receiving the best then YOU are settling for less than the best and can only blame yourself.

Influences.......what is yours?
Category: Life
Its only been over the last few years that I realized how strongly influential I can be to others around me. I've always been told that I have the ability to be a leader but sometimes I wish I could leave that up to others. I have had multiple people come up to me over the years to tell me how I have affected them personally or someone that they know. I will admit the most of it is in a positive manner but sometimes I can see my own influence directing someone down the wrong path and that is what makes me wish I sometimes did not have the ability to lead or affect someones life. I don't believe it is intended to be a burden to lead or influence but geeze I know I'm not perfect and its kind of scary to think someone may act like me or want to be like me just from being around me and liking me.There was a comment made to me this weekend about a certain influence I had on someone and it was kind of funny but it was also like wow please don't let me steer you in a direction that you may not want for yourself. I know everybody is capable of making their own decisions and facing their own consequences but I don't want anyone facing a consequence because they were influenced by me and chose to do the same as I. I to am influenced but I don't feel as much as some are. I never really have fell into peer pressure hardly at all. Thank God for the strong will and head that he has provided me to have in my life. What is the point of this blog you ask? It is this.........just remember whether young or old the people around you are always listening and most of the time absorbing in your words and your actions. What kind of influence are you leaving on them?
