I love you are three words that have been tough for me to string together, but I have been able to slowly open my heart again
My parents are not the type to say I love you. Their love language is action-based, not verbal. My dad has only said it to his three childrenadults – likely because he’s starting to feel his mortality, but my mother? In my four decades of living? Nope.
I was watching a TV show once, and the actor on-screen told another she loved him. It came out mechanically, it felt automatic, which made me realize that it’s difficult to say, even for actors. I often hear people saying “love ‘ya,” lacing the loaded phrase with a blanket of casualty, as if fearing that a flicker of seriousness could expose the desire to establish a deeper connection. I myself, am selectively vulnerable . I add the cliched “‘darlin’” after I say it to friends and family. I pray they won’t notice how inauthentic I sound. But I learned that even this tactic was failing when a casual acquaintance commented that it was easy to see through my mask, and it was okay.
