Blogmas Day 20: Little things mean a lot
Today I would like to talk to you about the little things. They really do mean a lot. For example when on the off chance one of you lovely people comments on my blog I cannot express the huge amount of fulfilment and gratefulness that flows through me. I am sent an email whenever I get a like or comment or new follower and let me tell you, when I do receive that email it is the highlight of my day. I don't think most people realise how much everyone else means to them. For example I sometimes struggle to tell others (my friends and family) how thankful I am when they do the smallest things. This is more focussed on friends I feel. Your friends have chosen to stay with you, your family it has no choice. Isn't that amazing? The fact there are people out there that chose you to enjoy themselves with instead of anyone else. I think that's the most precious thing in the human world. The fact that unknowingly, we have the capability of completely changing another's perspective, mood and aim. For a less uplifting example; if a person was walking along the street and you have them a compliment, said hello, offered spare change, or just simply smiled. Think of how much of an impact that would make on their day. You have no idea where there were going, could be on their way to a boring day at work and you made it a little less boring. Could've been on their way to a very important meeting and you relaxed them...
Could've been on their way to end their own life, and you made them think against it instead.
Most of you reading this are probably thinking I'm mental which I hate to tell you, also backs up my point. No matter what your thinking, I have intact impacted your day in some way. I hope this will be for the better. This little blog post has made you, my dear reader, think.
Even if that was just for a little while.
But none the less, I would like to thank you for doing so.
You see what this post is trying to say is that the little things do matter. But more specifically, thinking matters. I know that this post won't have a major global impact and for example make world peace. But that's not what I want, today atleast. I just wanted to remind you to think about what your doing. No, not with you lives, I don't want to give all of you existential crisis'. Just while your talking to your friends or out Christmas shopping just think about what you do before you do something. Can you imagine if everyone did that? I know it's a big ask because it has such big connotations.
A quote I heard the other day while watching Red Band Society had really haunted my thoughts. I'm pretty sure it featured in my other post about fave quotes: "Sometimes you don't need to walk in another persons shoes to know how they feel, some times the best thing that you can do is sit beside them". I don't think I really understood this fully until now. I believe it's saying that you don't and won't always have an answer to someone's question. But there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you're there to listen to what they have to say that's all that matters. Cause let me tell you, there is nothing more completely frustrating then not being able to share your thought, feeling or opinions. And it is so, so unhealthy to do so. Now reader I would like you to make me one single promise. If you have a strong emotion towards or about something. Never under any circumstances keep it inside you. You must share it. This could be you simply texting your best friend or screaming into a pillow (or someone's face is they diserve it). Because I promise that once you do so another emotion will be taken off you're shoulders also...worry. I hate worry with a passion. And as a fellow worrier myself I cannot express how good it feels when you realise what you were worrying about was absolutely nothing. A simple glitch in the system of your mind. Ah sweet relief, how I love you so.
I'm sorry if this style of blog post is not your cup of tea, I just felt like a change. And I'm not going to appologise for the rambles because that would be completely juxtaposing my whole point of sharing your emotion. Getting real here I do appreciate all those who read this blog because it means Im also impacting people's lives which is just amazing. Thank you. I promise I will have a much more relaxed post tomorrow. I've been through a lot of emotions today for some reason and felt like I wanted to get creative with my words on my blog. Oh I do love a ramble.
Merry Blogmas Everyone!
