Actions Will Always Speak Louder Than Words

Written and contributed by Gem

Actions will always speak louder than words to me, especially when it comes to telling me I’m beautiful. I’ve often heard people say that Doms should tell their subs they’re beautiful every day. I would have to disagree. You see, I’ve had people tell me I’m beautiful and yet made me feel the exact opposite. I’ve had people tell me that they’d always be there for me and are now nowhere to be found.

My Sir, husband, best friend (all one in the same) makes me feel beautiful every single day, and rarely ever says it out loud. He knows that I have a hard time accepting complements, especially one as big as being called beautiful. He knows that if he tells me, I probably won’t believe him anyway. Or I will deflect it by pointing out reasons that I’m not, or respond with a stupid joke. He tells me I’m beautiful with a stolen glance as I get into bed at night. Or when I catch him giving my body a once over before I step into the shower. He tells me I’m beautiful when he looks me in the eyes before a kiss, or during a scene. He makes me feel beautiful with the respect and love he gives me every single day.

So although the words are not spoken every day, the actions are there and that is how he tells me I’m beautiful. Because for me, actions always speak louder than words.
