10 Memories, 100 Discoveries: Memory 6 – Three Words
Huxley said, “Memories are a man’s private literature.” Memories are private and you never know which ones will be picked up, stored away and treasured. In 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, ten of the discoveries are memories- fun, sad, happy, I’m not sure what types there will be, but I do know that they will all be treasured. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 memories here and the entire project here. Enjoy the memories, I am!
The first time “the” three words were said was a little awkward. We had fought and the outcome was saying those words sooner than we were both ready. Because it was awkward, I can’t “remember” when they were said exactly 
But, I do know the act of saying, “I love you” is still new. And while we might feel them, the words are used sparingly. They still mean something vs. being tacked onto the ending of a phone conversation out of obligation or because it might be the last time to say the words.
Tiny butterflies inhabit my stomach before I say the words or when I hear them. The excitement of saying “I love you” and not only meaning it, but also feeling it is a thrill. It makes me smile. It makes me love him more.
