There's this crazy thing.....


called letting people you care about, KNOW that you actually care about them. And you my dear....SUCK at it.

It's not this incredibly hard task. Basically it entails ACTUALLY telling people you care about them. It's sort of easy when you think about it. You just open up your mouth, or your phone or drive your ass somewhere to tell the person or people that you care very much about that you do in fact care very much about and for them.

It does not require you:
-buying obnoxiously corny gifts
-crawling up their ass to build a home
-getting mad at them for hanging out with people other than yourself
-throwing temper tantrums
-crying about not spending enough time with them
-texting them until they respond with "leave me alone"
-or any other stupid shit people do to "show" they care

IT DOES require you to:
-smile a lot when you are around them
-give them hugs and kisses when appropriate (and even when it's not)
-do spontaneous things for or with them
-sometimes send a good morning text
-sometimes just randomly let them know you are glad they are in your life
-respond to their texts with something other than one word answers

oh yea....AND SAYING YOU CARE IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM!!!!!

SO why is this so difficult for you? Why are you so NOT capable or expressing that you care for someone, possibly very deeply? Instead you hide away and don't answer texts and basically avoid all conversation if at all possible because you clearly have a fear of abandonment. Wanna know a secret?

WE ALL DO.

Not one single person I actually know is NOT afraid of being lonely. Of being totally and utterly abandoned. But the thing is, is that we cause ourselves to be abandoned by not allowing our hearts and minds and bodies to let people in and feel that love, or even that caring.

SO ya know what? STOP ignoring the texts and let the people or person you are also having those feelings for KNOW that you feel that way. Or else they're just going to move on and you're going to be hurt and lonely because of you. It's sad but it's true.

TELL PEOPLE YOU FUCKING CARE!!!!!
