"I love you" but let's try something different ❤

Y'all know what else conveys the same? Tagging them in such posts. 😛

*phantom tags*

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou This post was so inspiring dear... After some relationship stress lately, I realized that the best way to express love is to show it. No labels or pink coulds... Though these can be nice too. The best thing to do is trust the other person and yourself that you are good enough. Thanks for the great post!

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Awww sun how do you even manage to write something like this?? It's sooooo beautifully written😍😍

And Yesss it feels so good to recall old memories and talk about it, the happweness we feel by recalling our moments, words and memories is something indescribable 😄

Plus I'd be soooo excited and shocked if someone remembers the very small details about me, things I've said to them, things I've done.... It feels soooo sooo good really😄

( I love it how *YOU* remember the words happwe, hooman bean, sunflowers (which I use everywhere🌻), iced coffee and the colour purple 💜 It makes me feel soooo happweeee you know? It just makes me feel emotional everytime🥺)

And yessss! Little becomes alottttt with genuine intention, thoughts and feelings🌻💜

And yes it's really hard to say those three magic words *I Love you* maybe because people might think they can express this by their actions and caring words rather by using these exact three words😄🌻

And Sun you've given soooo many beautiful examples of showing *Love* in actions and words... And these actions and words might seem sooo small but they've got soooo much of love and care packed inside them😄🌻 and they will also make you feel extremely happy and bring a bigggggg ear to ear smile on your face for sure😄

And I express my love and care to others by sending them good videos, sending them beautiful quotes and some pictures too! I loveee writing letters to people I love and care about! (Yes writing letters is one thing I'm a bit good at🌻😄) I like to write longg paragraphs to those people and love to see their smiles xD

I also loveeee to send songs to people😄🌻 If I'm sending you songs then know that you're really special to me😄💙

Texting Ofcourse, I text most of my friends once a while just to ask them how they're doing, just to talk a bit about the time we have spent together.. It feels really good to recall the memories and the fun we had together🌻😄

Preparing coffee, complimenting them for everything they do, wear! Telling them that I'm always here for them no matter what, reading books to them, random phone calls, ordering foods, gifting books ( even if I know there's very lil chance for them to read it xD) These are some more things I do to express my love and care🌻💙😇

And everyone of you who's reading this right now, know that you're really loved and cared🌻 You are enough😄 It's ok to feel low sometimes, but know that you're not alone in here and you can do/be whatever you want/wish to do/be💙 You're already doing greatttt and you'll be fine tooo🌻 Cookies to y'all🍪🍪🍪🍪

Have a great day/evening everyone😄🌻

Beautifully written ♥️

☆ What are your thoughts about the same?

Many people struggle with expressing emotions and conveying their messages. People who have learnt to be assertive and express their emotions in words are definitely very lucky like YOU ☺️❤️ To let someone know that *you matter* one have to have that skill to convey their messages.

I have struggled all my life expressing how I feel and especially with being assertive. My best reaction was always to let my sibling or my parents convey my messages. Now that I think about it, I think its very important for kids to learn to express themselves. They should learn how to put their thoughts, feelings into words.

Maybe you'd meet people in life who care a lot for you, love you and want to be by your side but fail to show that to you. Sometimes these people are even misunderstood just because they don't know how to say (Want some pizza? Or How are you doing? Or Why you look upset?)

That's why I want all those who know how to convey their message, to be more kind and help such people in their life to learn to be assertive. Afterall a friend is not just there to sit with you in your darkest days of life. A friend is also there to help you be the best version of yourself.

☆ How do you like to express your love and care to a loved one? [Family, Friend, Partner, Potential Partner lol, 7 cups peers, Yourself, anyone at all you love and care for]

That's a secret. I like doing everything for people I love without the spotlight.

☆ Feel free to share your favorite ways that make *you* feel loved and cared for.

*Shrugs* I don't expect anything from anyone. No one can fulfill all our expectations. :)

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou great thread sun! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

Lovely post! ❤️

“Little becomes a lot with genuine intent and thought!” That’s sooo true!❤️

Heart speaks the most beautiful language! And when the hearts are connected, words and actions automatically become impactful! ❤️

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou You absolute butterfly with wings that carry glitter that spark up the whole world. Who writes this beautifully :') Is this even allowed... to carry so much kindness and love and be able to put it into words.

Ahh I agree, it feels nice when people go out of their way to tell you about the small things they remember or pretty details about you that even you are not aware of. We live in a world that sometimes feel so isolating, mostly in our head and then there comes these kind souls who just make you realize that you are not invisible or so easy to fade away in the background and it just is so sweet.

You know what Sun *-*, you do the same for me and for so many other people here and I can't say it enough how much your sunshine is appreciated. It warms my heart whenever a tag from you appears cause it's always so delightful, it would take nothing for you to just not remember and be on your sweet way but you do remember and you take the time out to let me and so many others here know that you still keep us somewhere in your thoughts no matter if we speak on a regular basis or not. I love that about you <3_<3

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou A wonderful post from such a wonderful person! 😊 ❤️

I've been wondering about saying 'sorry' lately, and about whether or not there's something more one could say.

Maybe it's because growing up, being forced to say one is sorry when they weren't may leave a bad taste in one's mouth.

If someone hasn't done the work, it could be perceived as a get-out-of-jail free card without any immediate consequences, then much greater ones long term.

Or perhaps it's because listening to many success stories, I came across one about how saying sorry can put the attention on the negative, whereas a thank you is positive. Example: "Sorry for eating your cereal." vs. "Thanks for your patience with me while I learn healthy boundaries and respect, and for understanding my limitations and respecting and loving me anyway.").

Many agree that communication is key to a successful, long term relationship...The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz just being one of the many excellent tomes that emphasizes how important being clear can be, stating that if one is able to be impeccable with their word, the other three agreements are not necessary.

I think for those with anxiety or avoidant attachment styles this will be challenging. Creating that intimacy with someone may mean going outside the patterns one has created to keep the self safe, and face down their fears and doubts which might feel like opening Pandora's box.

Whatever the case may be, whether a sorry works or something more verbose, self awareness seems to be key - not some pompous, 'look how woke I am' attitude, but rather an action of being or working towards trustworthy, engaging authenticity every day, and I think engaging in that the way a child builds a sand castle - creatively and boldly without pretensions about how fabulous it's going to be, allows a person to step outside the limits places upon them that say creativity is useless and impossible and for others and releases control to something more surprising and rewarding.

I tried that a bit this morning while making the bed and was intrigued at how freeing and pleasant the sensation was - perhaps it's the catalyst to what people like Eckhart Tolle, Louise Hay and Micheal Singer are talking about when they speak of being untethered, in the now and letting go.
