♥️ SAYING I LOVE YOU ❤️

 

Why is it hard saying 'I LOVE YOU' to the ones that really matter? Well, in my case lah... Maybe it is because of our eastern culture... 🤔 For the westerners have no or little problem saying these three words out loud.. 

Seriously though, how many times have we told our parents, we love them? Verbally, I mean... And yes, I know ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS.. But, sometimes, we do need verbal affirmation (again in my case lah, I don't know about you guys, huhu.. 😬)And to our siblings as well... 

Surprisingly, I have no problem saying 'I LOVE YOU' to my niblings a.k.a the younger generations. Maybe because, they started saying it first, and I reply and it became easier expressing them after that.. (I LOVE YOU ALL MY LOVELY NIBLINGS, YES ALL 14 OF YOU!!!) 

And I think, they have no problem expressing their love verbally because they live in a different era than us (world without border, with access to technology and all.. 🌍) and are heavily influenced by other cultures (positively in this case)... 

And to our besties.. How many times have we told them, we love them verbally? I have no problem writing 'I LOVE YOU' in messages but saying them is still awkward.. 😅 Saying them straight by looking at them in their face/eyes is much harder..

I started saying, 'I LOVE YOU' when I ended my phone conversation to a selected few (you know who you are and thank you for replying I LOVE YOU TOO each and single time 🥰) and it became easier, same case with my niblings..

I have no problem saying 'I LOVE YOU' out loud to plants, flowers, and other inanimate objects, haha.. Maybe because I know they are unable to reply. If I'm saying them to people, I'm afraid that they won't feel the same (oh again, with the insecurities.. 🥹) and won't give a positive reply..

Anyways, this week is actually World Suicide Prevention Week and World Suicide Prevention Day is on 10th September each year. Just want to remind each other, that taking good care of our mental health is very important... 

And one way of taking care of it is by spreading love, positive love, not perverted love, toxic love and such.. So, start saying I LOVE YOU to people that really matters out loud! See their reactions! Do it before it is too late...

Oh, do say, YOU LOVE YOU as well, for in order for us to love others, we must first love ourselves!!! Self love and self care are never selfish.. Spread LOVE, not HATE!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Oh, and one more important thing, do you know who really loves us? It is none other than our One and Only Creator, Allah SWT!

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "My Lord says, 'If My slave comes nearer to me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running." (Sahih al-Bukhari 7536)

*ps: last but not least, thank you for reading this lengthy post till the end.. To all 'my people' (again, you know who you are), I LOVE YOU TILL JANNAH, insyaAllah and thank you for loving me all these times.. Thank you for putting up with my ups and downs (I know I am full of them, haha..😂)

*pps: picture included is the picture of my beloved parents.. I LOVE BOTH OF YOU with all my heart and soul, to the moon and back, till Jannah...
