Be My Diamond

You know what truly makes me sad? The misuse of words. I don't understand why such powerful words are thrown around today like they don't even have a meaning. My first example is the word beautiful. Maybe a year ago, I still believed that girls needed to be told their beautiful more often. That we needed to reiterate the fact that everyone is really magnificent in their own way. Nowadays, sure, girls are called beautiful a lot more often, but it's gotten to the point where the word doesn't even have a special meaning. It's inappropriate. We should reserve words like this for things that actually deserve it, not for every new Instagram selfie. Another word that has been terribly used lately is love. Love is probably the most powerful word ever. So why are couples, who have been dating for a week suddenly using the word loosely like it has no relevance?!? Love is something (at least in a romantic sense) that you find yourself in once. It's called the love of your life, not the loves of your life. Also, this is saying you're ready to spend the rest of your life with someone, right? Isn't love really just claiming that you found your life long mate? It's like saying you found a diamond, when all you really have is coal. All you have is something with the potential to be a diamond, but isn't. But you don't stop there though. You go around calling everything a diamond; even just plain old rocks. You use up that word so much, that no one thinks it's special when you actually find that diamond you were looking for. So honestly, if society keeps up with this horrifying ignorance to these glorious words that we use so often, will we ever really know when we find our diamond? Or will we grow arrogant enough that we simply over look them? So that's why I'd rather only love once, than waste my life trying to make diamonds from coal.
