Effort doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.

It lives in the little things—

a text just to check in.

a call out of nowhere.

a moment where they choose you, without being asked.

If they truly wanted to…

they would .

Not with big gestures alone—but with consistency. With presence. With warmth that doesn’t fade when life gets busy or silent.

Because real effort isn’t about showing off love.

It’s about showing up for it.

Even in small ways.

Especially in quiet moments.

And if someone only does it when it’s convenient…

when they only give what costs them nothing…

then their silence speaks louder than any promise they made.
