Since I can remember, for some reason, I was always “not like others,” and it was presented by everyone like there was something wrong with me; only becoming more grown up and mature, I realized that to be special and different from the crowd is my biggest value and happiness.

one of the five love languages: quality time

« Quality time is showing love and affection by spending dedicated time together. It does not only focus on sharing the same physical space but highlights the importance of being present, in the moment, and fully engaged with the person. This focused time together, free from distractions, signifies deep love and connection, nurturing the bond between couples. » - Gary Chapman
