Is anyone else getting tired of the phrase, “I Love You”?
Haha now don’t get me wrong. Love is a beautiful thing. Love is Life. However, I feel that so many people are either watering down the meaning of the word Love or they just have a misperception of what it means.
So Here’s My Solution!
Instead of saying the routine, “I Love You” how about saying “You Bring Me Joy!”
You see, Joy is one of those words that is close to Truth, Love, God, and Life. However, in my mind, it has not been watered down or misperceived.
When someone says the word Joy, people can instantly understand that feeling.
However, with the word Love, many people already have strong mental associations, which may hinder them from receiving the wonderful benefits of Love and Life.
So here’s what we can do…
When talking with someone that you care about, someone you would say “I love you” to, instead, say “You bring me joy,” when they do.
When you see their smile and the sparkle in their eyes that you fell in love with, simply look into their eyes and say, “You bring me joy!” : D
Can you notice the difference in vibes?
By saying something “out of the ordinary”, you will catch the person off guard and your compliment will land even deeper and have an even greater impact on that other person’s consciousness.
So that is my recommended replacement for the watered down phrase, “I love you”

Pretty cool post here.
i , like you, think i love you is either watereed down, overusaed or just plain misunderstood. It can mean many things, and have a plethora or degrees of variation.
Thus, I love youer idea of you bring me joy.
And i also agree that it will get a smile in response to when it is spoken.
Im going to print this off as a reminder to put it “into the lineup”
Good outside the box thinking , sir
