6 Little Ways People Say That They Truly Care

When you care about someone, it may not always be easy to articulate just how much you do care about that person. However, there are lots of little ways to show how much you care about that person when you struggle to say how much you care.

If anyone in your life consistently does any of the following, odds are they truly care about you.

1. "Text me when you get there safe."

Those who care about you also care about your safety; this means wanting to be positive that no matter where you are going, you get there safely. This may also mean that they will get pretty worried when you do not let t hem know that you got there safely. Worrying about you is a sign of caring about.

2. "This made me think of you."

Whether it is hearing a song from an artist or genre that you enjoy, seeing a product that you would likely use or hearing a phrase that sounds like something that you would say, when someone lets you know that something made them think of you in your absence is generally a good sign. Not only are you on that person’s mind, but different objects, sights or sounds remind that person of you; this means that someone know so much about you and cares so much about you that they have associated other things with you.

3. Randomly (or maybe not-so-randomly) checking in on you.

When you care about someone, you want to know how they are doing and how they are feeling. This is especially true when someone knows you have been having a rough day or have not been feeling well, so those who care about you will often make it a point to check in on you and see how you are. When you care about a person, you will often want to care for that person, part of which includes wanting to know how that person is feeling.

4. Remembering even the small details about you.

From mentioning what type of cookie is your favorite, to disclosing information about yourself that is rather personal and is not often shared with other people, when someone cares about you they often make an effort to remember the details that make you the unique that person you are. As aforementioned, when you care about a person, you want to care for that person; in order to care for a person, you normally need to know that person. Thus, when someone makes a concerted effort to remember those details that make you the person you are, that is a sign that the person cares both for you and about you.

5. Making sure they get to spend time with you.

Everyone has schedules and time commitments that can sometimes make spending time with other people difficult. Those who truly care about you will make sure that they get to see you, even if it means rearranging their schedule. Although people may not be able to do this often, doing this at all shows a great deal about the importance that they place on being able to spend time with you.

6. Doing something they do not typically enjoy doing because they know that you enjoy doing it.

Although you may not always share the same hobbies and interests as those around you, those who care about you will be willing to try things they typically would not enjoy or even try because they know that you enjoy them. From watching movies they hate, to trying food they’ve never cared to try, those who care about you may surprise you in all that they are willing to do for and with you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
