Is it possible you’re underappreciating one of the most important people in your life?

We don’t mean to.

But sometimes...we do.

Why is that?

🌀 Why We Take Our Closest People for Granted

Here’s the truth:

1. We get busy and think of them last, because they’re always there.

2. We assume they already know how we feel.

3. We wait for the “right moment” to say something kind, and then… life moves on.

But while we’re putting off those words of appreciation, they’re out there silently giving us their love, time, energy, and support—without fanfare.

And maybe, just maybe… they’re wondering if we even notice.

"The people closest to you need to hear words of encouragement the most."

— Victoria Osten

💔 Why Forgetting to Appreciate People Can Be So Damaging

When we forget to acknowledge the ones who hold us down, show up for us, and love us at our messiest—something begins to crack.

Even the strongest people…

Even the most loyal people…

Need to hear that they matter.

When they don’t, they start to feel invisible.

And when someone feels invisible for too long… they start to disappear emotionally.

💡 Ask Yourself:

✅ Ever noticed how when you genuinely appreciate someone, they’re in a better mood?

✅ Nicer to you?

✅ More open?

✅ More helpful?

That’s not an accident. That’s connection.

Now take a breath, and ask yourself:

• 🧡 Who are the three most important people in your life right now?

• ⏳ When was the last time you told them you love them…appreciate them…are proud of them?

• 🎁 Or better yet—showed them?

💭 The BIG Question…

Why do we wait to say all the beautiful things about our loved ones until their funeral?

Why not say those things now—while they’re here to hear them?

🌎 Can you imagine how much kinder and more connected this world would be...

...if we made it a habit to tell our people how much they mean to us, while they’re still here to receive it?
