sometimes love is just doing things without having to be asked, making a cup of tea for someone as they’re working, packing an extra lunch because you know they’re rushed for time. Love doesn’t have to be expressed in grand gestures, to me, the little gestures of love matter more.
“Sometimes I wish there was a way out. Not just a way to get out of something, but a way for me to take a deep breath, and for my soul to rush out and go somewhere peaceful.
I’ve always found the beach peaceful. Especially when you stand so close to the ocean, the water barely licks your toes.
But there’s no way out.
No beach to go to.
There’s no escaping what I’m feeling.
So maybe after I take that deep breath, I’ll just hold it in.
And maybe I’ll fall into the ocean and never come out.”
donkey says “really really” to shrek when reassuring him that he likes him, shrek later says “really really” to donkey when reassuring him that he’ll help him cross the bridge to fiona’s castle, and then shrek says “really really” to fiona when he tells her he loves her
in conclusion, donkey taught shrek to love and be loved
