How video games can see I Love You

So this is my first post about dare I say it? Love. I’m not gonna be all mushy but I am gonna basically talk about something I’ve learned that I think is worth sharing. 

I don’t call myself high maintenance at all. This could be in part to the fact they my sister is very much so and I’m comparing to her. But regardless I don’t ask for much. The biggest two things I ask for from Jarrod are honesty.. Which I’m not gonna go into why this is so important. But duh. And the other is that in some way, he shows me that he cares. I think that’s what all of us girl what anyway. My thing with Jarrod is that I don’t really care how he does it, but I need to know he cares.  He is such a unique person, and part of being with somebody is finding out more and more about who that person truly is. What they love, their weird quirks, their pet peeves, ect. The more I leran about Jarrod as time goes by, the more I have to love about him. From the fact that a simple pun can and really does brighten his day to how the sound of ice scratching together makes his skin crawl. So what I’m saying is that when you know these things you can start to see the ways he shows he cares, even when he’s not trying. For example, Jarrod is a huge video game nerd. He loves everything about them, they truly bring him joy. So when he asks to take me into GameStop and show me the new games he just bought, I’m flattered by it. Because what he’s really doing is letting me into his world. He wants to share with me something that he truly loves; that to me a great expression of his feelings for me.  So even if I don’t give a flying flip about video games(which isn’t true), I am a very attentive listener and am actively involved in him telling me about these games. (And turns out some of these games have really cool story lines, so I don’t mind much to sit and watch them for a few minutes when I’m over at his house.)

           He’s so happy when he’s getting to teach and tell me about these things, and seeing him happy, makes me happy, so everybody wins. He feels loved that I’m caring to listen: I feel loved that he’s  trusting me with something he’s so passionate about.

So see, being shown that someone cares doesn’t have to be in a gift or gesture.  Those are nice occasionally, but it can even be video games that can sometimes say 

“I love you”
