“Always ensure you use the word ‘you’ in a positive manner.”
“Gift-giving isn’t the problem; the commodification of love is the problem.”
“Love is not transactional; love is transcendent.”
“Adding value is the true love language.”
“It’s not about saying ‘no’ to gifts—it’s about saying ‘yes’ to the right kind of gifts.”
