There's something incredibly powerful about someone giving you exactly what you need without you having to ask for it.
Think about it.
If you have to ask your partner, "Do I look good?" and they say yes, that's nice.
But when you walk into a room and they look at you and say, "Wow. Look at you."
That's an entirely different feeling.
Because you didn't have to ask.
They noticed. They wanted to tell you. And making you feel good genuinely made them feel good.
I think that's one of the most beautiful things about love.
Your pleasure gives me pleasure. Your joy gives me joy.
And it goes beyond romantic relationships. The same is true of great friendships.
You don't have to love everything someone else loves.
But when you genuinely care about someone, their happiness becomes something you can take pleasure in, too.
That's what makes love so extraordinary. It's not just about what someone gives you. It's about how much joy you get from giving something to them.

It's not really worth anything if I say yes. Like, what's meaningful is you walk in and I go, wow. Like, look at you. That's all good even though it was Yeah. Fake. That's that's real. I mean, it's real. You know? No it feels It still feels good. Feels so good when someone authentically gives you what you need without you having to ask for it. Because the having to ask for it part demonstrates that, like, you don't really know me. You don't really get me. And and by the way, it's also something you're giving me because I asked for it as opposed to I'm giving it to you because I want to give it to you. Your pleasure gives me pleasure. Like, that's... Both of those examples is the same thing. Yeah. Like, your pleasure gives me pleasure. Your joy gives me joy, which better way, is an authentic thing. Take the sex out of it. Like, we were talking about before we turn the mics on. We were talking about how, like, in friendship, there's things I'm not into that, like, I just get excite.
