“Love is a feeling that needs to be expressed, rather than just told”. –Younas Saleem

While I was sitting down thinking to myself why showing how much you love someone is important and this weird thought comes to my mind. It is really amazing how we say we really love someone and the person we love doesn’t feel the same way about it. It is very important that you show how much you love someone, and not just wonder that the other person can imagine how much you love them. Don’t take me wrong, but I really think that it is important that you show your love to have a strong relationship with anyone. This situation doesn’t only apply to love; it definitely works if you want to show someone how much you appreciate them. There are many times when we are in situations where we would just ignore or shout at the person we love because we are tired or we just don’t want to talk to anyone. We don’t think about how the person will feel because of our actions, but for sure we sit and think yes we can treat the person this way because we love them and you should be able to express all your feelings to the person you love. If we think about all the things we do in our life that we really don’t want to do, and still do them because we have no choice. Why can’t we take a moment and think if we just give the person we love some time and not be mean to them, how happy it will make them even though we don’t want to do it. Now that shows how much you love the person instead of ignoring them and thinking I can because I love them.

Same goes for appreciation, I was sitting with a couple of my friends and talking about some person who was really helpful and how much we appreciated her. It is very good to acknowledge how much you appreciate someone, but if we go and tell the person  how much we appreciate their help and maybe just buy them a flower, it will make the person so much happier and shows them how much you really appreciate them.

So I don’t know if all this talk made any sense, all I was trying to say was that it is really important for a person to SHOW how much you appreciate them, instead of just thinking about how helpful the person was.

You can appreciate or love a person all you want, but unless you show them how much you love/appreciate them they will never know the value of your love or your appreciation towards them.
