Sometimes we need reminders from those we care about that they care about us. And sometimes they need the same reminder, too. Not every day can be sunshine and rainbows for everyone, and that's why it's so important to be the rainbow in somebody's rainclouds. They might be struggling more than they let on, so that's why letting that someone you care about know that you love them is so crucial. Now, sometimes if you just started dating someone, you might not want to drop the L word yet. That's perfectly normal, and it comes with time. Maybe you've been married to your S.O. for fifteen years, or maybe you've had a best friend who you've known all your life. Either way, whatever the relationship may be, just remember to let them know that you care about them. There are plenty of way to say "I love you" without actually saying it, whether it be through certain actions or through certain words or phrases.
