Validation....Who Needs It?

I know some of you may be saying that you don't need to be validated because (insert your reason here). But what does getting validation from the ones we love really mean? Have you ever tried to explain to someone how you feel or tell them exactly what you need from them, only to not be able to vocalize exactly what you mean? I can definitely say that I've been there.

The definition of Validate according to the dictionary is to make valid; substantiate; confirm

When validation comes from the person you love, you want them to show you how happy they are to see you, randomly tell you that they love you, a slight kiss on the forehead while you're watching TV together or even a text message to let you know you were being thought of. 

How can someone tell you that they enjoy spending time with you or love seeing you, but when they do see you, their face and demeanor aren't reflecting it? We go off emotions...yes, to tell someone is one thing, but actions do what? Yes, they do...they speak louder than words.

At the end of the day, it isn't about the time you spend together or saying I love you at the end of each phone call. It's all about how your eyes light up when you see each other, a smile, wink, kiss or hug. And yes, it goes both ways.

Communication is number one in a relationship, but validation is second runner up!

This is something I feel I have to work on as well. When you are dating someone, you emotionally feed off of each other. What one person isn't giving, eventually the other person will stop giving...it all becomes a domino effect...and eventually leads to more problems you probably would be better off without.

Sooooooo....your task for today you ask. Validate the one you love..STAMP IT!
