In This Article:

Telling someone "I love you" isn't the only way to show them you care. You can compliment their outfit, buy them coffee, or simply ask how their day went. Whether it's your boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, mom, dad, sibling, roommate, WHOMSTEVER IT MAY BE, these 13 things are little actions you can do to show them you love them, without having to say it.

Leave them little notes

If you have to run out the door in the morning without saying goodbye, write them a cute note telling them to have a nice day!

Squeeze them extra hard when they hug you

Or better yet, give their back a little rub.

Tell them to text you when they arrive home safely

It shows you care!

Make sure to say goodnight to them

And never, ever, go to bed angry.

Show them songs that remind you of them

Or, show them anything at all that reminds you of them for that matter.

Text them to ask how their day is going

Call to check in on them

This is similar to asking them how their day is going, but with a more personal touch.

Buy them coffee without them asking you to

Tell them you're proud of them!

Send them snail mail

Personally, I love getting short, little letters from my mom while being away at school. Even if you live with this person, put a letter in your mailbox and make them go get the mail — it probably will bring the biggest smile to their face.

Full-heartedly laugh at their jokes

Compliment them

Help boost their self-confidence!

Actually listen to them

Don't just pretend to hear them and nod your head occasionally.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
