But while those we love are often quite cognizant of our feelings, saying &#8220;I love you&#8221; is a gift we should give to our loved ones whenever we can. Letting people know you love them is an important part of nurturing any kind of loving relationship. Few people tire of being told they are loved, and saying &#8220;I love you&#8221; can make a world of difference in someone\u2019s life, take a relationship to a new level, or reaffirm and strengthen a steady bond. Everyone needs to hear the words &#8220;I love you.&#8221; Three simple words \u2013 I &#8211; Love &#8211; You. When you declare your love for someone you admit to them that you care for them in the most significant way.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #333399\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva\">It can be difficult to express your love using words, particularly if you grew up around people that never expressed their affection verbally. But you should never be afraid to say &#8220;I love you&#8221; or worry that doing so will thrust you into a position of excessive vulnerability. It is important to share your feelings with those that matter to you. Part of the fulfillment that comes with loving someone is telling them that you love them. Besides, love exists to be expressed, not withheld.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #333399\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva\">If you love someone, let them know. Don\u2019t be afraid of the strength of your emotions or worry that your loved one won\u2019t feel the same way. Besides, the words &#8220;I love you&#8221; are often best said to another without expectation of a return investment. As each one of us is filled with an abundance of love, there is never any worry that you\u2019ll run out of love if your expression of love isn\u2019t said back to you. Saying, &#8220;I love you&#8221; is a gift of the heart sent directly via words to the heart of a recipient. Even though it may not always look that way, love from the heart is an offering that is always unconditional and given without strings attached. That is the true essence of the gift of &#8220;I love you.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dailyom.com\/\">DailyOM<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dailyom.com&gt;DailyOM&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p style=\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/love\/36415DB5B1204889B93B618014C911FC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #333399\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #333399\">Love &amp; Light,<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\/Angel_Love\">\u2665Angel Love\u2665<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/hearts\/Blue20Neon20Heart.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s easy to take our feelings for granted and to assume that the people we care about know how we feel about them.
