Smoke, Lights, and Mirrors

Mid-twenties. Wanderer. Can be absurd.

Love

We use that word far too much.

I’m guilty of this as anyone.

But that word is supposed to mean something far deeper than how EVERYONE uses it in regular conversation. So casually phrased now.

“Oh, I love Rob Lowe in that show”

“I love this shirt!”

“HA! I love it when that kid gets drunk!”

“I love you.” when you’ve known them for a solid day or two.

That word is overused to the point of meaningless. Now “love” means “kinda like” - and it’s opposite, hate, gets the same treatment. You know how…”Hate fat free ice cream.” Do you? Do you really HATE fat free ice cream? OK, well, that might actually be possible, but you see what I mean.

Is this fixable? Probably not. But whatev, I love bitching about shit.
