Hey there, please don’t say the L word.

The L word does not have a place in our relationship. You and I, we should never even think of that L word. It is just so out of place.

I know the word used to be so familiar for you, and I guess, for me, too. But I don’t want to hear it, not from you, not anymore.

Don’t you know how dangerous that L word is? Can’t you see how that L word gets into your brain and clouds your judgment? Can’t you see how beautiful the world could be without that L word in your world?

Please promise me, don’t you ever say that L word again… at least, not when you are with me. No, no more of that L word. You simply have no right to say it, not to me, ever ever again.

Because, My Dear, you are not what you thought you were. You deserve so much more…. so so much more, than just that L word.

So, look me in the eye, and say it out loud, “I am a winner. I am strong. I am special, and I deserve to be loved.”

Say this L word, My Dear, not that one. For you deserve to believe this L word, not that one.
