Love is such an important part of our everyday lives although it can be hard to express. Everyone wants to be loved, but are you expressing your feelings the way you want someone to express feelings to you? Avoid making someone feel not cared about or unappreciated by correctly expressing how you really feel.


1. Smile

Something as simple as a smile helps you as well as your loved one understand how you feel. When you come home from school and your parent asks you how your day was, a smile shows them that you are happy to see them. Smiling indicates happiness so let that loved one know. Smiles tend to be contagious.

2. Joke Around

Being playful is important in strengthening your relationship. The more you can mess around, the more comfortable you will feel with this person. You want to make sure that you, and this person is comfortable while together.

3. Laugh

Who doesn’t enjoy a good laugh? Exchanging heartwarming laughs and smiles makes you and your loved one want to be around each other. A laugh alone can create a feeling of intimacy.

4. Questions

What is so loving about a question? Questions allow you to learn more about your loved one. Get him or her to tell you about themselves because who doesn’t feel comfortable talking about themselves? Turn all the “I”s into “you”s. This might also intrigue your loved one to learn more about you. This can be an advantage in letting you know how they really feel about certain things.

5. Hug

Everyone needs a hug sometimes. Hugs are physically and emotionally pleasing. A hug makes you feel more connected to a person rather than only being able to express yourself with words. Hugs are helpful when you don’t want to be all talk all the time.

6. Time

Spend what money can’t buy: Time. Spending time with your loved one makes them feel special and it’ll make both of you feel good. The more time you spend, the happier the both of you will be.

7. Tell Them You Enjoy Their Company

Everyone enjoys spending time with the person or people they love, but do they actually know that? When you are having a good time, you should let the person know. When a person knows that you enjoy being with them, it makes them want to be around you more. It also makes that person feel special because you decided to let them know that you are happy with them.

8. Show It

It is very important to find ways to show someone how much you care about them. There are many different ways you can go about it depending on who your loved one is. You can perform random acts of kindness to show how much you really care because it’s the little things that count. Why not bake a cake for your family for no reason? Why not buy your girl roses just because? Why not show her off on social media and to your friends just because? Why not text him paragraphs on how much you love him? Why not make a surprise dinner date? Why not get you friend a gift for always being there for you? Why take all these questions into consideration? Because love, and love only.

9. Say it Once, Say it Twice, Say it a Million Times!

If you love them, say it. Say “I love you,” because it justifies your actions. Never be afraid to let them know how special they are.


What are you doing? You know how to love now! Get off your butt and show your loved one how you really feel!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
