How do you explain the things that bring you joy?

What if the word you wish to use to express the way that you feel has so many societal expectations on it that you cannot use it for fear of being misunderstood?

Do you just start adding the word "really" to the lesser form of the word? Do you say it in a different language so that it's not as scary, and doesn't have the same meaning to our society?

I am of course talking about love. Love has gotten me in trouble before in a lot of ways. Just the word itself, used when I didn't really mean it, has caused me strife.

But what if I mean it now, but I don't mean it with all of the bullshit that our modern America has placed on it?

Am I allowed to love some one without having the full gamut of other emotions and relationship defining experiences that we force on people? Am I allowed to love, and just love?

Hmmm.... Socratic Journal Entry...
