I am feeling very loved at the moment. I think I am at least. Hahaha. Well, it seems that the random things I do that are just me provoke warm fuzzy feelings in others, toward me of course. I swear I've heard, "I love you Jenna," or something along the lines like a million times from like twenty different people this week alone! (Well, a bit of an exaggeration... not quite a million. Hahaha) I guess it is my quirks that I take for granted, because, well... I live with them. I can't really get a rest from myself. I was called endearing the other day. And I, The Queen of Vocabulary, forgot what it meant. Hahaha.

Well, that's it. Hahaha. Won't forget it now. But, back to my topic. It appears as though people love me a lot more than they did before. What I mean is that before this month or so people just regarding me as Jenna. Now I seem to be regarded as more than that in more people's eyes. I'm regarded as amusing. And it is rather nice. Except when I have no idea why people are laughing at me. Hahahaha. It’s got me thinking though. Does our modern culture use the word "love" to lightly? Or is it just my school? Hahaha. Well everyone everywhere tells everyone that they love them. For random reasons, like opening a door, getting someone a cookie. It's nice to show such affection, but do you really love said person. If you say "I love you" to everyone for everything it loses its touch. The word doesn't have the luster it used to have.
You may love these people, as friends, family, etc. But I personally think we should save the expression for special moments, not when someone goes to fetch a backpack with you. Maybe for times when you stay on the phone with someone for hours, helping them resolve problems. Or when you help someone who is sick or hurt. Not simple everyday things.
I am guilty of the overuse of the word love. You can see, I end most of my posts with "Much Love." But that is not as bad as "I love you" all the time. But, I do that as well. And I mean it, but I should save it, so it is more special to everyone.
Much Love...?
~ Jenna
