Okay, the story about David saying it’s better to lie than to say nothing seems like a perfect stupidity to me... Do you really prefer to be told 'I love you' in a fake way? There are things you can’t force, and the fact that he shouted and demanded that they practically lie to him seems twisted to me. But considering the age he was when he said it, it’s reasonable to assume it was just due to his immaturity. He may not have had bad intentions, but I still feel that asking to be loved is a boundary that shouldn’t be crossed; it’s like disrespecting yourself and the other person... Of course, this is just my perception 💁
I love the detail you mention about how special gifts are. Any gift can be special, but what really makes it meaningful is when the gift reflects the time of reflection and effort the person invested in it... That’s definitely great.
But you’re also right; you can’t be reflective and deep all the time, so it’s also valid to simply give a gift or gesture. The mere act of giving is already something special.
It's beautiful how well you resonated with all of this. I was 14, so I guess there could have been better ways to respond, but I think it's all part of my learning process. Knowing that I was in this situation and this is the way I acted but next time, I'll do better. That's just how it is. Your comment is heart-warming beyond words, and I'm glad I got to read it. Thank you for leaving something this insightful.❤️
