What do you think about when you hear this four letter word?

Not having English class all this past week has been one of the best things that could have happen to me! It was such a refreshing thing knowing that I had an extra hour or so to do whatever I wanted to do. I would take a nap, do laundry, or even do some more homework that I had for other classes. I managed to actually write 2 papers this week for English because I got halfway through my first paper and couldn’t quite finish it. I talked about how me and my friends use the term “That’s What She Said” in basically all the conversations we have in a day. And they are always really good ones too. But I ran into a problem. I had nothing else to say. I had all my thoughts down and needed 600 more words. So I decided to rewrite my paper on something I think you could talk someone to death with. I chose to talk about love. The simple four letter word which we all use multiple times in a day to describe so much. We use it to describe how we feel about a sandwich, movie, friend, family, driving, a sport, walking, running, etc, etc. the list goes on and on. What do u think about when u think of the word love? Do u think about someone close to you in your life? Do you think about a family member? Friend? What? When I think about the word love I think of my family. And when I say family, I mean more than just my mom, my dad, and siblings. I live in a house with 8 other people and 5 dogs. I live with my mom, dad, two sisters, one brother, grandma, grandpa, and aunt. Having so many people in the house always makes for an exciting life. There is always someone in the house and always someone you can talk to. This is what I think of when I think about love. Everyone in the family loves each other and is willing to help each other no matter what the situation. My aunt, Kathy, has always been there for me and I am always there for her too.This one time, Kathy and I both had a rough day and we were both home. I was doing homework for school the next day and she was online dealing with some banking issues. She ended up coming into the office where I was working and asking me if I wanted to get some pancakes at IHOP to just get away from the house for a little and relax. It being around 11pm and me having a bunch of work to do I had to think about it for a second. And of course, me being a procrastinator, said yes immediately! We ended going to IHOP and getting a ton of food, pigging out, and talking till about 2am. It was so much fun! So I guess this is what I think about when I think about love. I think about family always being there for each other and having each other’s backs when they need something.

  1. I totally agree that a family should be there for each other and have each others backs. Love is a strong word and sometimes I feel it is overused and that people dont really mean it.

  2. Lol, uh I'm just laughing because I know what your paper is about before I read this. LOVE is such an important word, and so many people abuse it. There are so many different types of love and you put them in your paper lol... I really liked the story about your aunt :) haha that sounds like a lot more fun than homework
