my mom bought me orange juice because ''it's got loads of vitamins'' and she offers me some and i'm thinking "i gotta say yes bcs that's her way of communicating that she loves me" and then she brings it to me in my pride cup from my first pride parade

#it's the little things #some people would hate having a loved one who doesn't know how to verbally express affection but #there's something really magical about being able to decode the details in the things people do for you that clearly show how they feel #like idk the thought of my mom specifically picking the pride cup because i'm her trans kid and she wants to show support #appeals a lot more to me than her just standing there saying “i love you”#especially as someone who equally struggles to express affection like that. it'd be a lot more awkward for me #i think it's important that we stop prioritizing the ''loudly proclaiming your love on rooftops'' kind of expression as like...#the ~good correct~ kind that's superior and more meaningful than other ways to show appreciation #maybe my mom and i don't hug or say we love each other #but maybe she brings me orange juice she bought specifically for me in a special cup and i accept it and thank her
