Attention as a Form of Love
We tend to measure love in grand gestures, but it is more often built from attention: the unhurried question, the remembered detail, the phone put face-down at the table.
In an economy designed to fragment attention, giving someone your whole presence is genuinely costly. That cost is what makes it a gift rather than a courtesy.
To love someone well is, in large part, to be genuinely available to them.
