Sitting in a boring meeting at work today, it occurred to me that it could do a whole lotta people a great deal of good to regularly look at themselves in the mirror, stare deeply into their own eyes, and try to say outloud as sincerely as possible,

"I love you."

Doing so could help these people for the following reasons:

1) Some may never (ever or again) have the opportunity to say "I love you" to anyone else, though they may so badly wish to. Saying it to their reflection in the mirror just might suffice or help stave the crave in the interim. Just might.

2) Some may never (ever or again) hear "I love you" from anyone else, though they so badly wish to. And maybe saying it to themselves might take care of some of that need too. Maybe.

3) If one day, someone realizes he/she really means it, that he/she truly does love himself/herself, though no one else may, or they may never love another being in the world... that'd be quite awesome in itself! Might even help with 1) and 2)... Actually, I'm willing to bet it will.
