We all have our own ways on showing how much we love someone. Our parents do it by telling us things we don’t want to hear, but they are always right and only say it because they want what’s best for us. Our friends show their love when they tell us to make good choices because they don’t want us to do anything stupid while we are at school. Lastly, our loved ones will say whatever they need to make sure we know how loved we are, even when we think we aren’t. Here is a list of what you can say or ask to make sure someone important in your life knows you care about them:

1. How are you?

You’ll never know how much someone needs a kind gesture or a compliment to get them through the day. It’s so powerful to know that you can make their world a better place, when that’s all they needed was a little love.
