Original Advice
“DONT: Don't use gifts to replace honest words.”
Stop Bribing Love With Presents
You keep handing over objects because the sentence in your throat terrifies you. Ribbons are easier than responsibility. You know this. They unwrap the box; the silence stays wrapped around your tongue. You aren't generous - you're evasive. The gift is a decoy, a soft distraction, a receipt stapled over a bruise. Speak the bruise. No more scented detours. No more velvet smoke.
Your love language is texture, weight, the click of a clasp. Fine. But matter can't do your talking for you. Without words, your devotion feels like a tip left on the table - polite, impersonal, forgettable. Intimacy demands clarity, not packaging. When you refuse the vulnerable sentence, you fertilize suspicion. Let friction polish you. Courage sounds awkward. Say it wrong, then say it right.
Cosmic Context
