“hey, you’re doing so good”
“I love you, I’m proud of you”
I think it sends a life line sometimes and I try to do it as often as I remember.

or your inner prompting, or whatever you prefer to call it
I was getting emotional last night past midnight thinking of a college friend I hadn’t heard from in a while (we talk briefly a few times a year), so I sent her a Marco Polo telling her how much I miss her and admire her and how proud I am of the work she’s been doing and that I just love her so much and wanted her to know
She messaged me back in tears because she’d had some really heavy blows to her self-esteem lately and hearing a friend tell her out of the blue all the reasons she was awesome was exactly what she needed
I know variations of this sentiment go around often here but it bears repeating!! Tell people you love them and why! 💌

Love can mean so many things to so many people, and it’s said with so many different intentions behind it. It helps to start by understanding your own definition and what you mean to convey.
For me, it’s not something I reserve for only romantic partners or family, but I do keep it to a smaller group of people. I need to feel safe and vulnerable in order to say it to someone, so it often comes with a level of trust that’s been built in that relationship.
Since the pandemic began, I have tried to say it more and more often to those I feel such strong affection and care toward. The past several years have reminded me of how unpredictable and impermanent life can be, so there is no point in waiting.
I probably tell my partner I love them 15x a day because I do and I want them to know it. And I try to text my friends that I love them weekly (more or less) as they cross my mind. Sometimes it‘s just a text that says, “Hey, I love you.”
You don’t need to use the word love frivolously if you don’t feel it but, if you do, don’t hold back either. ❤️

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve reached out to someone on a whim and told them I’m appreciative for having them in my life or the value they hold in my life and most people’s first reaction is to ask if everything is ok or I need to talk about something. It’s almost like they‘re caught off guard by hearing words like this and can only react by assuming something is wrong..we need to be giving each other uplifting words more often and spread the love around
