Forget Valentine’s Day, how do you truly show someone you care? Is it a grand gesture, a thoughtful gift, heartfelt words or something entirely different?

Thank you very much for this question (chuckles) I especially like that the question started with forgetting Valentine’s Day because I for one find it silly that we wait to show love only once in a year, that is one day in a whole freaking twelve months. I get that it gives some kind of designation to have a day brought out for such things but I don’t know. Especially the fact that people make it out to be for couples and not just your loved ones…. I don’t want to sound like I’m pained because I’m currently single or that I’m generalizing the whole situation but yeah, these are my opinionsss. Anybody got something to say, say it!
Chile, just like 
Now, why did I mention the love languages in my answer, I am still working on figuring out peoples love languages as I meet them but one thing I usually do is ask. So, sidenote: please go figure out your preferred love language or languages because yes, you can have a mix of two of them all, if you’re a chameleon like me.
I know that caring or saying that you care for someone is not enough. The person has to feel that care……so, you try to speak their language (literal or not) for better communication and understanding. A person who prefers quality time would not be fine with you just dropping gifts here and there and leave. And a person who loves giving and receiving gifts might not be so comfortable with you being touchy while showing your appreciation and care. And this, my people are not just for couples but for your family and your friends and other loved ones. Maybe, some other day, well really dive into the topic of love languages.
On a very personal note, I do not like grand gestures but I appreciate them and would do it for a loved one who wants it but I really prefer gifts giving no matter how big or small it is, I’m good with words too mostly written ………. So, I could write a note, poem or sing you songs. And if I love you, I want you spend time with you, it doesn’t matter if we don’t talk while at it, but I just want to stay around you. like I said, I can be whatever you like just as a chameleon of you’re my loved one and not in a condescending way please and likewise, if its thoughtful, genuine, and not one of my dislikes, I’m pretty appreciative as can be. In the end, we try as much as we can and being humans, we have limits. So, we also learn to not count the limitations and imperfections and well, just love.
Love can take any form, shape, size or whatever…. Letting go, holding tight, giving gifts, staying and not leaving. If its genuine and true and pure……its love that should be appreciated. Lovers’ day is not on 14th February. Every day is lovers’ day and lovers include all your loved ones, tuhhh!
