AllTheSmallThings

Let’s not take this for granted.

There is a lot for us to do that with.

There is so much       under appreciation in this world and it’s creations.

  Delve down deep into the small things and you’ll realize the small things that make it all worth it.  The person who you met a few days ago yet they still remember your name and made an effort that was greater than that of a teacher to get you to learn something.  Someone being specific in saying “You have a nice smile” or “you have beautiful eyes” instead of “You look hot” or “looks good”.  That you can make eye contact with some people and see that they smile at you as though they know that you don’t get it at home and so they send a small gift.  Forgetting your headphones at school and someone offers their own to you.  Or maybe that time you talked to the person you liked but its not awkward, its just simple conversation that takes your mind off of that test you took.  When you drive the same way each day but notice something new.  When for some odd reason you decide to be staring up at the sky and see a shooting star.  Being able to just unload all of your problems to your friends and they tell you that it’s okay or even to continue.  Seeing your friend be passionate about their interests and knowing that they have something that makes them happy that isn’t a significant other but rather something that is entirely 100% them.  Being able to make a fool of yourself and not give a damn because hey what do the kids that have always ignored you know about what you’re doing.  Someone telling you about something you did a long time ago that shows that they won’t be forgetting you any time soon.  Not being able to sleep because you’re so excited for the next day even if there’s school.  Reading another blog and finding out that someone you didn’t know at all has incredible taste in music and felt the same thing as you on the first time they ever looked in the mirror and smiled.  Having to cut a blog post short because you’re exhausted from having a full day that was enjoyable rather than full of homework and working to feel at home.

Steal this prompt.  Because hopefully while writing this you’ll smile just like you did when someone walking by went out of their way just to compliment you sincerely.  Just think for a second, because sometimes it’s when we feel for too long that we become the most apathetic.
