"I love you."
A phrase we humans live and long to hear. In my generation, I think the term being in love has lost its meaning. Love is what we thrive on, and yet you throw it in my face for your own benefit. You love me when I defend you. You love me when I make myself less than and allow you to feel superior. You mold my life and mess up my emotions as if I'm putty in your hands, and you label it love.
Yet you fail to love my 'imperfections'. You don't love me when I always miss the same key when I play the song "Escape" on my dad's piano. You don't love me when I get defensive, and in a way, political about my passions. You don't love me when I trip over my feet constantly because I choose having loose, comfortable shoes rather than stable footwear in my correct size. You don't love the things that make me me.
People think love is a term to describe caring for someone, but it's not. I care for everyone, does that mean I love everyone? No, it doesn't. Because in that case, love would lose all meaning and purpose. Love is a choice. Yeah you meet someone and you click so well that you begin growing a deep affection for them. But you have to make the choice of whether or not to love them.
You have to choose ot be loyal to them. Choose to be patient. Choose to stick around even when things get rocky. (Because there will always be highs and lows.) You have to choose to communicate and learn to accept things sometimes, even when it doesn't meet your expectations. And most of all, you have to choose to love them as a whole. Be infatuated by everything about them. Their cute moments, their embarrassing moments, the way they do their hair, the way they look when they wake up.
To love someone is to choose them. In every way possible.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
