Say “I’m proud of you” to someone who needs it. Some people go years without hearing it once.

That sentence is far scarcer than it should be. People assume it is obvious, or that saying it would be awkward, or that the other person already knows, and so plenty of thoroughly loved people reach thirty having never once been told. It costs nothing and it is not replaceable by implication. Nobody has ever reported being embarrassed by having received it.

Say it this week to one specific person about one specific thing. Do it out loud rather than in a message if you can manage it, and then stop talking.
