Community: Being loved
Each week, we gather our community’s wisdom. This week, we asked: What makes you feel loved?
"When someone remembers a small detail about me."
"Forehead kisses, a surprise letters in the mail, a simple ask to see each other."
"When people thank me for the work I do for them."
"A random hug."
"Doing what you say you will."
"Small but thoughtful gifts."
"When my best friend makes me food."
"When people listen to me and ask questions with genuine interest."
"When someone sends me a song that reminds them of me."
“Someone sharing silence with me.”
“Just spending time together.”
“Bringing me things, like coffee, the remote, plate of food, anything that I don’t have to get up!”
“Undivided attention of my partner.”
“Spend quality time with me and always care about me.”
“My constant reassurance that I am loved.”
“Being heard.”
“My niece’s smile when she sees me.”
“When my boyfriend turns the seat warmer on in the car before I even realize that I’m cold.”
“A really tight hug.”
“When someone tells me they are happy to have me in their life.”
“When people send me podcasts and say, “This made me think of you!"
“When my husband gets up with the dog so I can sleep in.”
“When the community sends me messages, as I have been unwell.”
“I visit my Dad who has dementia. He doesn’t know my name, but his face lights up when he sees me.”
“Their presence.”
“When I am heard and understood.”
“Favorite foods made by my hubby.”
