“I think there’s a really important difference between like ‘love you’ and ‘I love you’ because adding the ‘I’ makes it a lot more personal. I also think it’s a lot easier to just say ‘I love you too,’ because it’s not like you’re initiating it. I tell my friends and my family that I love them — anyone that I’m really close with and have a connection with. I do say I love you to my friends a lot, but I have to get comfortable with them first. I don’t think I told people I loved them as much in elementary school — not to my friends, at least, but I definitely still said it to my family. Once I got a little bit older, I understood what it meant to me, so now it carries more weight. To have someone say ‘I love you’ to me gives me a really big sense of importance to that person. It’s very confirming, like you mean something to someone.”
