💬: “Well, should I say ‘I love you’ often, or save it for that crucial moment?”
🐺: “I’m actually slightly more of the latter. Slightly, because—well, of course, if you say it often, that’s a genuine expression of feeling too, and it might make you feel good every time you hear it. But, hmm, since we’re human after all—and in a way, we’re also creatures of habits—we might get used to it (in a way getting used to certain routines or habits). Then you might not feel how precious it is. That’s what’s a bit of a shame, in a way. So, I tend to think that saving it up and then saying ‘I love you’ feels a bit more… well, like the sincerity really comes through. Hmm, and timing is important too, isn’t it? Hmm, rather than just saying it casually as if it’s no big deal, I think it’s better to say it at just the right moment—when you think, ‘Right, I really, really want to say this. I feel like I should say it now.’”
