What this quote means

Even the deepest love needs to be expressed to stay alive. Silent feelings wither; words and gestures nourish them. In daily life, we often forget to say 'I love you' to those who matter. This quote reminds us that love is not a given, but a continuous practice. It applies to all affectionate bonds: couple, family, friendship. Expressing love strengthens it and makes it tangible for the other person.

How to apply it daily

Tell a loved one today, face-to-face or by message, why you love them, with specific words that come from the heart.
