If you\u2019ve ever found yourself in a new romantic relationship, you probably know that there are three tiny words that can make or break it all: \u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those three little words can wreak havoc on anyone.<\/p>\n

Should you say, \u201cI love you\u201d? What if the person doesn’t love you back? What do you do if someone says \u201cI love you\u201d? Do you have<\/i> to say the same? What if you\u2019re in the friend zone and you want to tell the other person? Should you?<\/p>\n

Will those simple words create a lifelong love affair, or will they ruin the friendship forever?<\/p>\n

So <\/i>many agonizing questions. So <\/i>many emotions.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, you don\u2019t have to deal with any of that right now. Your only task is to write<\/i> about love, not actually worry about the messy process of being <\/i>in love.<\/p>\n

Though writing about love can be just as messy (and sometimes just as painful) as being in love, I\u2019m here to ease the pain by providing a few tips on how to write an essay about love.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also included topic ideas to get you started with an awesome essay (which will hopefully ensure you don\u2019t end up broken-hearted when you get your essay back).<\/p>\n

Tips for Writing an Essay About Love<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re writing an essay about love, it can be easy to just write gushing, flowery prose about someone you love, but these types of papers can turn into a long, rambling, cheesy mess.<\/p>\n

To avoid this pitfall, follow the two important tips below.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be too sappy or too bitter<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re in <\/i>love, everything can seem dreamy. It can feel like walking on air, like floating with the clouds, as sweet as strawberry cotton candy.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve just fallen out <\/i>of love (or if someone has just fallen out of love with you<\/i>), it can be quite the opposite. It’s more like wallowing in a muddy pit of self-pity, like you\u2019re enveloped in despair, like you\u2019ll never climb out of the abyss that is your broken heart.<\/p>\n

Yeah. It can be pretty melodramatic.<\/p>\n

But you\u2019ll sound more than a little sappy or bitter if you write about love in this way.<\/p>\n

So how can you write about love if you don\u2019t write about every gut-wrenching feeling you\u2019ve ever had? Try looking at things a little more objectively<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No matter how awesome your new love is, no one is perfect. Include, or even focus on, something a little less sappy and a little less positive, like how your love\u2019s habit of always <\/i>checking Instagram at lunch drives you insane.<\/p>\n

Writing about these characteristics makes your love a little more human and your relationship a little more realistic.<\/p>\n

If you absolutely can\u2019t write about your love (or former love) without spilling out every emotion, you might consider another angle for your essay about love.<\/p>\n

Write about something other than romantic love<\/h3>\n

If your assignment<\/a> states that you absolutely must <\/i>write about romantic love, well then you must. But if your assignment guidelines are a little more open, then consider writing about another<\/em> type of love.<\/p>\n

Think back to when you were a child and how much you loved your teddy bear, truck, or blanket. Think about how you loved a superhero so much that you actually wanted to become <\/i>that superhero.<\/p>\n

Did your favorite toy help you through some tough childhood days? Did your superhero teach you something or even help shape you as an adult?<\/p>\n

Consider the love you have for your parents, grandparents, siblings, or friends. Sure, sometimes these relationships can be love-hate relationships, but they certainly impact you and shape your views on the world.<\/p>\n

And of course, what about the love you have for your pets? Pets are often considered family members (and, let’s face it, are sometimes even more lovable than actual family members).<\/p>\n

The point here is that the topic of love is wide-reaching, so look for unique ways to approach the subject.<\/p>\n
