get involved in your loved ones’ lives. take interest, ask questions, ask to join them in the things they do. they want you there, even if they don’t know how to say it or ask.
i often feel like a burden and don’t invite anyone in because it feels like i’d be burdening them more which makes me feel selfish. but i really want them with me. i love them more than i have words for, and much more than the words i actually say.
to be clear: by loved ones, i dont just mean romantic partners. friends, found family, anyone who is important to you. love them deeply and let them know in anyway you can. be in their life – they assuredly want you there, probably more than you realize.
if youre involved in my life in any meaningful way (which is normally some type of frequent, pleasant interaction), i probably care about you very deeply and want more of you. i love knowing you, i love spending time with you, i love talking with you, and anything else we do. so friends, found family, and partners: take All of my time, i love you a lot
