Rethinking Love

For various reasons, I've got love on the brain. And it's sort of bothering me, to be frank. Because I feel like I often throw around the verb "love" a little more carelessly than I should.

I know I use it in my everyday speech. I use it in my writing. I certainly use it all over this blog. (I mean, look at the bottom of the screen--there's even a category I've named "Things You'll Love.") And here's me on Twitter lately:

Guh. Do I really love birthday candle smells, Wayne Thiebaud, cute stores, Justin Timberlake in glasses? And I know it's not just me doing it; it's certainly something many of us say and write. But maybe we need to rethink "love"--to use it more purposefully, more honestly, and less recklessly.

And that's it for the week, ya'll. Yep. Oh, except one more thing: I actually probably do love Justin in glasses.

Happy Friday, folks.
