The Importance of Loving out Loud

Love. A taboo concept for many. People think loving out loud makes you weak but really, it is the most important aspect of our lives. To be loved and to give love is a feeling that you will never forget. No, I am not necessarily talking about intimate love, but the love you receive from your friends and family as well. Being surrounded by love is what makes life worth living. The opportunity to be able to share the happy and sad moments with someone and they stick around, that is love. Or, pushing someone to be the best they can be because you see so much potential in them, that’s love. I think you get the gist of what love is. 

The part that most of us fail to do is to show people that we love them and use our words to actually tell them. Not just leaving it to the other person to code your emotions. Oftentimes after someone dies unexpectedly, people always say things like “Love out loud because you never know what can happen.” While it may sound cheesy to you, it is so important. Life truly is too short and we are shown that everyday. Someone who means so much to you could leave this Earth without knowing how you felt about them. Our words are powerful. Don’t leave people wondering how you feel about them. 

Life has a funny way of passing us by. One day it will be too late to tell the person you see on Instagram that you look up to them because of the way they carry themselves or the great things they are doing in their life. Then when it is too late, you will be left with nothing but regret, which is such a terrible feeling. Tell people you love them, that you are proud of them, that you are inspired by them. Tell people everything, let them know how you feel for both you and their benefit. The short three word statement of “Love out Loud” can seem corny and meaningless but we should always carry it with us and never lose sight of it.
