"I love you." Three strong words that could mean so much to one person and mean so little to the other person. People can use those words so freely. Some say it when they don't mean it. Some say it just to say it, or they think that's what the other wants to hear. Many of us can be fooled. We can be so blind with love because we want to believe someone will love us as much as we love them. But sometimes that’s not the case. We have so much pressure put on us to find "the one". We dream about our futures as little girls and dream about our wedding and wedding dress. We even dream about the “perfect” guy. Sometimes we may question is that guy is out there. Some may even have a fear of being alone. But one day someone will come along that actually means what they say with their whole heart. The one that does mean it will also show it. There is a great saying that states, "actions speak louder then words" and it couldn't be any truer. It may take 5 years, or maybe even 10, to meet that person but they will come into your life eventually.

So, to the ones that told me they loved me. You may have thought you meant it but did you really mean it? There is a difference between caring about someone and loving someone. My point is don't say you love someone if you don't think you mean it. Don’t say it just to say it, make sure you mean it. I don’t care if it takes you a year to say it to me. But if I say it first and your not sure yet, don’t say it back. With those words, you must also show you love that person. And to your future girlfriends/wives, I hope you love them better then you loved me. Don’t be selfish. Love with all your heart and put 100% into the relationship. Because if you truly care, you would. Every girl deserves the world no matter what type of past she has. To all the girls that have had their hearts broken, don’t sweat it. You have to realize you deserve better. It may hurt because you did love him, but live your life for you. Learn from the situation. Show him you don’t need him. In fact, we don’t need a man at all. We are women and we can do things for ourselves.

I also want to thank you for “breaking my heart." At first I thought it was the end of the world but it was truly a lesson. I live by the quote “everything happens for a reason” and you came into my life for a reason. I may not realize completely why at this moment, but I believe it was to show me there is nothing wrong with being alone or single. In fact, it should be the best time of your life to figure out yourself and have fun with friends. You should be happy with your life and figure out what you truly want from life before you bring someone else into the picture. So once again, thank you for breaking my heart and teaching me what I really deserve. And I know I deserve the world.
