Going against the very famous quote, I personally think that actions do not speak louder than words. Words have the power to heal, the power to flabbergast, the power to bring a smile on someone's face. Not everyone can talk, or exhibit their emotions towards a person explicitly. These people turn to words for help. And words never betray.
As an introvert myself, I have used the tool of writing to let me loved ones know how much I care for them and they matter to me. In similar instances I have received written letters and typed words that have been my support system in times of immense distress.
One such example is this blog post/letter from a dear friend of mine. It makes me smile every time I read it. It reminds me of something...something important about me and my life.
Here is a shoutout to all people who are shy and scared to say things to people they care about - dont worry, pick up your pen and paper and write all of it down. All you have to do is hand over the paper. You can choose to be anonymous if you want to. That's the beauty of writing.

Hey Y,
Some people come into our lives and barely
leave a trace, others leave a string of footprints etched upon our hearts,
letting us know they are with us every step we take. It sometimes feels like
someone pulls rug on which we are, finding ourselves broken and unable to get
back.
I want you to know that I’ proud of you. I am
proud of you for taking those steps. I am proud of you for being you and
working to rise the best you inside you. We might have just met but you have
made a difference in my life. I believe everything happens for a reason. And
you are in my life for a reason. I am very happy to be your friend.
You deserve so much more that these typed words
of gratitude. I could be writing this post forever. The only thing I want to
say is to hold on to the positive moments and keep the good memories and save
them for the tough moments if you are feeling down.
I hope this makes you smile because the world
deserves more of your smile. You are a miracle and you are worth of friendship.
You are a beautiful person, inside and out. “Just when the
caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.” Leave
behind your past because I’m in your life now (Self dabba). You were meant to
live a life of challenge and courage. All of us have taken a different road to
Ashoka. And you bumped into me along the way. Now I will make sure that the
road we travel from now is of kindness and joy.
