My dearest,
I’ve been reminded lately how much love is tested not only in moments of closeness, but also in the quiet stretches in between. It’s easy to feel uncertain when silence lingers, but I’m learning that patience and trust are part of the foundation of something lasting.
Love isn’t about constant words or endless conversation–it’s about knowing that care and connection remain, even when life pulls us into busyness, weariness, or quiet days. It’s about holding onto the truth that presence isn’t only measured in messages or calls; sometimes it is found in the quiet assurance that someone is still there, even when they’re not speaking.
I’ll admit, I overthink, I let small gaps feel bigger than they are. But what steadies me is remembering that love grows in patience. It’s a steady flame, not a fleeting spark. It doesn’t need constant proof, only the trust that it continues to burn.
So today, my encouragement is this: let us not measure love by the noise it makes, but by the calm it brings. In patience, we find strength. In understanding, we find peace. And in the moments of quiet, we discover that the heart still speaks louder than words ever could.
Always your,s
