@chefqueen here's what i have to say about your question
Love, in its truest sense, has no room for excuses. It is not something that can be shelved until life becomes convenient, nor is it an emotion that lies dormant for months without expression. Love demands presence whether in friendship, family, or romance. It may not always need grand gestures, but it always needs consistency.
I used to think love was too strong, too alive, to be caged by the words “I’m busy.” Busyness is real, yes, but it should never become a wall that separates hearts. Because at the end of the day, love is not measured by how much time we claim not to have, but by how much of ourselves we give even in the midst of life’s noise.
That’s why I struggle with the friendships of today that often say, “We haven’t talked in three months, but I love my friend.” What is that supposed to mean? Love that hides in silence for months without a single check-in begins to look more like comfort than commitment. It is easy to hold on to the label of “friendship” without nurturing it, but true love, true friendship, needs tending, like a fire that dies out if left unattended.
Maybe the modern world has numbed us. We are connected by devices yet disconnected in spirit. We want the security of claiming love and loyalty, but without the responsibility of showing up for each other. But love, I believe, is in the small consistencies: a message that says “I was thinking of you,” a call that asks “How are you doing, really?” a presence that says “I may not have all the time, but I have enough to let you know you matter.”
So I return to the truth I hold close: love does not make excuses. Love is not about how rarely we speak, but how deeply we care enough to bridge the silence. Anything less is not love, it is convenience disguised as affection.

Oh!!! I'm crying 😭😭😭. You make me feel I'm not mad and I still have people who reason like I do. Thank you so much for this reply
You're welcome 🤗
I'm glad to at least know someone like you 🥺
@queenchefI think it's because this generation is practicing the out if sight is not out of mind theory. I remember those days when you can go to your friend's house without informing them about your coming or being invited. If you try such now, the kind of cold gesture you will receive ehh you will have yourself to blame.
Things truly have changed...
Back then you could visit at any time and its cool, but you dare not try that now
Yes you get it
This is a nice thought you tagged the name incorrect
@jmis101, this generation is loose with words and if you believe them, it's at your own risk. Everyone in this generation are like politicians who say things not because they mean them but because of what they stand to gain.
On that note, I think the best way to know if someone really cares or does love us as they say is through their actions. The way they handle things that consigns us can speak volumes about how they really feel about us. So I guess we should be in the look out for the action rather than spoken words.
🤔
This is so true.
Thank you very much dear for this.
It's a pleasure

Here's what I think;
Staying for months and not speaking with the person you claim is your friend and you claim you love shows you don't love them or you both don't mean much to each other..
I can understand if the energy is not returned and maybe you withdrew but you both comfortably staying that long without hearing each other's voice, no check ups even if it's for a few minutes hmmm omo, the friends in question don't view each other as important..
Why is it that when you love someone you want to hear their voice, you want to know what they're doing, their business becomes yours... Honestly speaking, it's not possible that true genuine friends, who are tight good close friends and truly cares for each other can stay for long without trying to reach out..
I totally agree with this checking up on the person is also important in friendship and build a long lasting one the mutual feeling to trust also comes in
Yeah
Without checking up, it shows you are just acquaintances and not friends
To answer @chefqueen question
True, love and friendship should show up in actions, not just words. If months pass in silence, something’s off.
Thou we are all very busy with life and there might not be time to talk always or daily, but there should always be a point where both will link up either physically if they are close by, or chats or calls if their is distance to talk about things from where you left it...but if the distance is before much and it's only one party that's showing interest then... you know my answer already
@soma18 @empressjay @van.illa come and share your take on this too biko
Hmmmm
You said the truth to be honest but recently, I've kinda cut off all my friends. I don't know why but I neither chat them up nor receive their calls. This has been going on for exactly three weeks now. Not that I'm tired of their friendship or something but I just paused everything.
But I will make a change in a few days. I hope
Hope you are fine??
