People who don't love you will never invest their time in you.
Time is the tell. Not words. Not compliments. Time.
Someone can say they care all day long. But if they never show up, never check in, never make room for you? That's your answer.
Love shows up as effort. As texts back. As "I made time for this." No effort means no love, no matter how good it sounds.
Stop decoding mixed signals. When it's real, it's real.
