I'm not a "cooking is my passion girly" it is absolutely a labor of love for me. So if I'm cooking I really do care for you because I pretend I can't cook most times
Effort:
Text me when you say you will. Remember my favorite snacks. Ask about my day. Show up for me. Check in on me even when I'm not expecting it. Remember the little details about me. I notice effort - I always do. It's the small things that remind me I'm loved, truly loved.
when i feel unheard, i just stop speaking. it's not the healthiest trait but i rather reserve my energy for conversations with people who actively listen to me
