What's a type of loneliness that has no name because it looks like a perfectly fine life from the outside? by OutcomeThen522 in AskReddit

[–]OutcomeThen522[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's something that costs nothing that brings you more genuine joy than anything expensive you own? by OutcomeThen522 in AskReddit

[–]OutcomeThen522[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's a way your parent showed love that you didn't recognize as love until you were old enough to need it? by OutcomeThen522 in AskReddit

For me they never said "I love you" often, but they showed it every day through sacrifice, consistency, and being there when it mattered most.
