We have such little knowledge about love as we grow up into the men and women we are today. We are raised to say "I love you" to people that we see maybe twice a year, if that, and are expected to mean it, but what are we actually saying? We hug our aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, siblings, parents, and even our friends and tell them we love them on a regular basis. Do we say that we love them because we know what love means, or are we saying it because we care about them? We grow up with such a small amount of background on this word "love" because we hear it from day one. So, when we feel it with a significant other, how do we know what it is we are feeling? We say "I love you" to our friends because we care about them and we want them to know that we are always there for them, but is it the same when you're in a relationship? Is it okay to say that you love your boyfriend or girlfriend because you care about them? Do you have to mean something more, like you want to go further? Are we saying we love them because we feel butterflies when we kiss them, is that truly what love feels like? We throw this four letter word out like it's nothing all the time, so how do we know when we really, truly feel it with someone we may actually love?
