“I Love You. I Like You!”

The words that bring me joy and the words that plunge me into negative emotions are best written down exactly as heard or said. In dialect, phonetic notation, or however difficult they may be to transcribe. “I love you!” “I like you!” “I’ll sit next to you!” “Mom, shall I give you a massage?” There could be no more enticing or straightforward conversation than these. Words expressed in colloquial language feel as fresh as biting into a crisp cucumber.

Words have flavors. Sweet, bitter, spoiled, fresh. The mysterious and rich texture of language can lead people to fall under the magic of love or into the pit of hatred. Words can revive or extinguish lives. The freshest taste, like biting into a raw cucumber, is the words of love. “I love you. I like you!” When expressed as they are, with genuine emotions, the world fills with the seven colors of the rainbow.
