Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

Love is complicated and difficult to understand, especially when we are not receiving the type of love that we desire. But just because someone doesn’t express their love for us in a way that meets our expectations, it doesn’t mean that they don’t care deeply for us or don’t love us with all that they have. Everyone expresses love differently and the amount of effort someone puts into showing you how much they care about you might not always be what we are looking for.

That being said, understanding how others express love can be a difficult task. If we can accept that each person shows their love in their own unique ways, then it will help us understand why someone may not express their affection as openly as we would like. Just because someone does not fit into the way we think people should express themselves does not mean that the person is any less caring or loving towards us than anyone else. It is important to take a step back and really think about the actions of those who say they care about us; perhaps those gestures can tell us more than words ever could.

Sometimes there is no need to expect grand romantic gestures or grand statements of undying affection; instead it can simply be little things like sending a quick “thinking of you” text or randomly bringing over dinner when it has been a long day. Not all forms of expressing love have to be flashy and showy but they do need to come from an honest place where genuine feelings of adoration are present. At the end of the day, it is important to recognize when people are showing their true love for us, even if it may not come in the form we expected or desired.
