Tell someone you love them

I know, I know, your nausea radar is going crazy right about now. I don't blame you. But it's fantastic to make a declaration of love without it being a "you-first/no-you-first" hostage situation*, even though sometimes the most basic of feelings can be the most difficult to verbalize** and even though it can be dyslexically easy*** to confuse one feeling with another****. Part of the problem, of course, is making something sound genuine when it's been rendered a language-bound cliche***** a million times over****** because we've all seen too many movies and listened to too many pop songs. And who even knows what it's all about*******? Violence******** or distance********* or the only convincing form of spirituality**********?


Anyway, the suggestion for today is just to tell someone - your brother, your best friend, your senator, whoever - than you love them.

Effort involved: physically, none.
