My New Year's Resolution

I don't usually care for New Year's Resolutions. Although I do not doubt the feeling of a "Clean Slate", January 1st is a completely arbitrary day on the Gregorian Calendar. There is nothing intrinsically important about this day other than the meaning we give it.
However, I am using this arbitrary starting line to change a habit. Not for just another revolution around the sun, but hopefully for my remaining time as a sentient being. New Year's Resolutions usually fizzle because a year is a long time from the perspective of a human being, but the circumstances of society change rapidly. What you might need to adapt to today, you may not need to tomorrow.

With all that in mind, I want to make better use of the word "Love". The word "Love" in the English language is very limited. It doesn't differentiate the sort of love like some other languages do. That could possibly contribute to why I haven't learned how to use the word properly. Words have meanings, and we need to do a good job protecting the value of words. I quit using words like "Epic" because society has tarnished its value. A hamburger with 3 patties and 3 different kinds of cheese is hardly "epic". I didn't want to contribute to the contamination of the word "Love". It's too important of a word. I think in an overcompensation, my use of the word "Love" has become too conservative. Does "Love" really lose its value if I tell my friends and family that I love them all the time? Should it matter if my use of the word is genuine? I can't think of the last time I told my friend Mitchell that I loved him, even though I love him deeply. I didn't have a chance to tell him thank you, and that I love him, before I had to say goodbye.
Is "to love more" a unique and new New Year's Resolution? Absolutely not. But you look around, and you can see world could use a bit of love.
