While I was reading the latest post on a blog I read frequently "Red Means Go" I came across this sentence. "words are just that: words." which is true in a literal sense I suppose. Words are just words. They are small key pieces language that we use for communication. But we also let them hold insane amounts of power over us. We spend so much time worrying about saying the wrong thing (using the wrong word), sharing too much (not necessarily using too many words, but words that are too powerful).
We need to give words some weight and power in order for them to continue to hold value and meaning. But I just wonder sometimes if it's ever too much. And then there's what I do. What I do is worry about saying the wrong thing and often I choose to err on the side of caution, and not say what I'm really thinking out of fear and then regret not saying it later.
I suppose that I'm thinking about this now because I'm wrestling with whether or not to tell my boyfriend that I love him. In this stupid power struggle with words I'm afraid that it would be too much and ruin the relationship. I think what I really should do is just suck it up, jump in with both feet and tell him.
