onto today’s topic: quality time ⏳️ 

i’m the type of person that wants to spend as much time as possible with the people i love. it doesn’t even have to be a proper hangout — just rotting together or bringing back the childhood development concept of parallel play is just as fun.

i enjoy being in the presence of the people i care about.

i recently watched a video that observed many people tend to primarily express their affection with special people in ways they’re not naturally inclined to do so. i’d say that’s somewhat true — i do indeed have a default preference of doing things solo, but i’ll make any excuse to spend more time together when it comes to my friends and family. 💗 

not everyone really enjoys quality time to the same extent though, and that’s something i consistently have to remind myself. over the years, i’ve realized that the only healthy way to have quality time as your love language, is to genuinely enjoy quality time with yourself first. it comes back to being secure with yourself, because not everyone is going to reciprocate how you express affection outwardly, even if they feel the same internally. 🤷‍♀️ 

side note, i don’t really follow love languages much. i believe everyone just loves to be loved (and there are many more ways to express that than the 5 we talk about), but sure, we definitely have specific methods we like more than others.
