Active listening is what love looks like.
Remember that love exists in duality. It’s a noun and a verb. It’s both a feeling you feel AND an action you choose.

You don’t want a woman to tell you, “You don’t listen to me” because if she’s at the point where she says that, it’s not the first time she feels like you not listening.
I’ll never make the mistake of not hearing someone again.
When someone truly hears you, they’re acknowledging your inner world. That’s a form of being seen beyond the surface.

I think, as a wordsmith, he’s super talented and I used to listen to him heavy. But in the online space he was so hyper focused on proving something to people who were never gonna be his audience, that he alienated some of his actual fans. I just got tired of him whining.

I told myself I would work on this hesitation to spend when I’m buying something I NEED. This feeling of, “Maybe that can wait.”
