Hey Lion,
I'm so glad to hear you are doing well as you and I started about the same time and have been on this journey together. I would just like to add something that your post made me think about.
A couple of good examples I can think of:
"I love you."
"I'm sorry."
"I forgive you."
"I would never hurt you on purpose."
"I will never lie to you again."
All just words unless the person who says it means/believes it.
