In sickness and in health

“Actions speak louder than words”

The promises that we make to people are never ending. We will be there for each other; we are in love, nothing can change it or even no power can separate us. Yes, very valid and so supportive but are these only words or shown in action too? That is where the real question lies. We do show our support through words and say so many things but how much we actually work on it, that makes a difference. And you know, it gets disappointing to only hear words and not see it in action because why would you say it if you cannot do it!

The way out in this is very simple, say what can be done by you. Do not make promises out of your capacity. It is okay to be there without saying it, it is okay to not buy the fanciest thing when you know the last thing you can do is pluck a flower and it is absolutely fine to not go out of the way to get things done when it is not leading to happiness for either of you. All the things you say should be in love and with genuineness, like compliments and supportive words are super helpful; but you hurt the other person when you say you will do this and that and then can barely be with the person in celebrations or low moments. 

You don’t have to say magical grand words but rather show small kind efforts. It is enough to be there but it will only lead to disappointment to not have words shown in efforts. I mean, who even asked for extraordinary promises? Do things in your capacity but do it with all your heart. If it is genuine in action, words will not be required to convey the feelings. And no, this is not a replacement for communication, this is a way to show effort through actions, gestures and reciprocation.
