The language of repair ✨️

Love languages are cute.
Repair languages? Essential.

Knowing how someone likes to be loved is great.
But knowing how to make it right when it all goes sideways?
That’s the real magic. That’s what keeps relationships alive.

We all mess up. We all say the wrong thing, lose our cool, shut down, lash out.
But the question is—how do you come back?
How do you repair?

Is it a hug?
A check-in?
A handwritten note?
A deep breath and “I’m sorry I hurt you”?

I’ll go first: Mine is honest words of repair, followed closely by humour (not too soon, but just enough to get my prefrontal cortex securely back in place).
Yours?

Drop your repair language in the comments. Words? Notes? A gift? An offer to hold your hand? Let’s learn from each other. This is the stuff that changes everything.
