“If you love someone but rarely make yourself available”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

Simplified Meaning:
When you care about somebody but don't spend much time with them or aren't around when they need you, it's hard for them to feel your love. Imagine having a plant and saying you love it, but you never water it or put it in the sunlight. The plant can't thrive without your care and attention, no matter how much you say you love it. It's the same with people—saying "I love you" isn’t enough if your actions don't show it. To make someone feel loved, you need to be there for them, spend time together, and show through your actions that they are important to you. Being present and available strengthens relationships and helps love grow.
