35 Different Ways To Say "I Love You"

There seems to be nothing more intricate and sentimental than those three little words. Everyone knows them, and feeling they bring are different for us all. "I love you." The phrase is quite unique, to say the least. The many languages and tongues it can be translated into scatter all throughout the world. It stands the test of time. But the meaning is all the same, and almost impossible to describe. Unsure if it’s the right place and time to express your love in that way? Whether it be for family, friends, or a significant other, take it slow and steady with these common phrases.

  1. “Good morning sunshine. What are your plans for today?”
  2. “Let’s hold hands; I want to show you off.”
  3. “Drive home safely. Buckle up, stay off the phone and text me when you make it back.”
  4. “I made you some food! Let’s eat.”
  5. “Don’t worry, I’ve got your back.”
  6. “I wrote you letters while I was away.”
  7. “Grab your coat, we’re going on an adventure.”
  8. “I really appreciate all that you do for me. Thank you.”
  9. “I’m at my happiest when I’m with you.”
  10. “I’ll stay awake until you fall asleep.”
  11. “What are you thinking about? I’m all ears.”
  12. “Let me open the door for you.”
  13. “How was your day?”
  14. “I am a better person because of you.”
  15. “You look wonderful today.”
  16. “Instead of buying a gift, I made you one!”
  17. “This made me think of you.”
  18. “I miss you.”
  19. “Sorry not sorry for the double texts.”
  20. “Did you get enough to eat today?”
  21. “Your smile is contagious and your laugh is adorable.”
  22. “I definitely know where you’re coming from.”
  23. “I’m worried about you. Please talk to me.”
  24. “I trust you. And you can trust in me.”
  25. “I love how your mind works.”
  26. “Can this be our song?”
  27. “Remember when…”
  28. “You seem tense. Want a massage?”
  29. “You’re the goofiest.”
  30. “You and me? We’re a team.”
  31. “I’ll hold the umbrella for you this time.”
  32. “Watch your step!”
  33. “When can I see you?”
  34. “You just made my day.”
  35. “Goodnight and sweet dreams. I’ll talk to you in the morning.”

Alone, they’re just words. But together, they can mean everything. Always remember to cherish these phrases, and to be genuine and kind as you say them. An “I love you” can be worth a thousand words. The choice of how to say it is all yours.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
