I openly show affection

I openly show affection

See the end of this email to feed a starving child with a single tap. (only takes one second)

Hey,

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us learned to shrink how much we care. Because showing it started to feel risky. Like if you loved too loudly or held on too openly, you'd either scare someone off or hand them something they could use against you.

So we learned to play it cool. We doubled checked our texts before sending them. We waited for the other person to say "I love you" first. We kept our excitement tucked away, just in case it wasn't matched. And after a while, pulling back became the default. Not a choice, just a habit.

That habit costs you more than it protects you though. Holding affection back doesn't make you harder to hurt. It just makes you harder to know. And when people can't really know you, connection stays surface level, and you end up lonely in rooms full of people who technically like you.

People treat showing affection like a negotiation tactic, like you're giving up leverage by letting someone know they matter to you. But telling someone you appreciate them, checking in on a friend just because, letting people feel your care instead of assuming they know it. It's just being honest.

A Little Note From Me:

I used to think being "low maintenance" about my feelings made me easier to be around. It didn't. It just meant the people who cared about me had no real way to reach me. Showing affection changed the texture of my relationships, not all at once, but slowly. If you love big but keep it quiet, you don't have to earn the right to show it. You already have it.
