this world is too cold and life is too short to not make sure that the people around you know you love them, that they matter to you. stop this mindset of needing to be nonchalant!!!! if someone leaves you after you tell them you love them, well, they weren’t mean to stick around anyways. tell your friends, your family, your lovers that they are what makes life worth living! that they are sunshine personified to your heart and soul!! the real ones will stay, and they’ll tell you the same. too many people don’t realize how loved they are. 2025 is the year of telling people you love them. flat out.

I’ve been trying to do this a lot more in the last few years. With the way things have been going, we could all use more love and support. ❤️

Tell people you love them.
The rhetoric that “You say it often, you don’t mean it“ It’s dumb.
I always mean it.
*You never know how much someone needs the reminder that they are loved, and tomorrow is not promised for them or for you*

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. ❤️

whew. i have had a triple whammy of things turning out in ways i didn’t expect them to the last couple of weeks. i have had my teary moments, but i know deep down that what’s meant for me will work out and that the right doors will open. still trying to allow myself to feel bummed out, though…but not TOO bummed out.…that’s when you wind up closing yourself off from the opportunities trying to reach you. anyways - life goes on - WE BALL!!!! WHAT IS MEANT FOR ME WILL FIND ME!!! PRAISE GOD BABY!

i’m definitely not the first person here to make a rec about this, but my tired brain is truly rejoicing. i have a very hard time completely leaving it since i communicate and share creative work through the app, but i think i’ve decided i will only be on it once a week or when i need/want to post. that’s all. as an already anxious person, seeing the same anxiety-inducing general information (as in something i could easily find on google or a news app) be reposted by 20+ people on their stories has become HELL, especially these last few weeks. not only that, but the constant push of personal opinions about such matters (even if i agree with them) just seems to warp your perception of people. maybe i’m just a wimp, but i don’t think humans were meant to see each other in such a way; we’re not so flashy and impulsive face to face. add the endless scrolling onto that, and it’s downright exhausting and kills productivity. there is so much more dimension and depth to humans and life than what is said or done or seen through this screen. can we please go back to flip phones?
