I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.

Stephen Chbosky
About This Quote

There are many ways to express love. Some people treat their loved ones as if they were mere possessions, buying them gifts and taking care of them as if they were just items that can be bought and sold. Others treat their loved ones as if they were children, teaching them how to behave and giving them advice about their actions. The most effective way to express love is through personal attention, the type of attention that you would give a child who was trying to learn something new. As you would tell a child that he or she is special, you should also tell him or her that the only reason you’re telling him or her this is because you don’t know if anyone else ever has.
