It's all about the little things.

More often than not, people tend to focus too much on all the big issues happening around them day after day tht they start neglecting and overlooking the little things tht mean as much as, if not even more, than those mundane big issues. Look around u, people. Look at all the things tht u have to be thankful for. For all the nice food u eat, the nice clothes u wear, for all the beer u drink, and all the people tht had been there or will be there for u when u fall. All the little things tht people do for u, all the little things tht had been bestowed unto u.

An ex-boyfriend used to always say tht he doesn't bother bout such small things each time i complained bout how he forgot bout our anniversaries. I'd then say "by not bothering bout such small things would only mean u bother bout big things. How often would people needa do big things for people? It's the little things tht count, the little things tht are most meaningful, the little things tht make beautiful memories." Of course, he turned a deaf ear to what i said. Good thing he did too, otherwise, getting over him wouldn't have been as easy.

I was just thinking the other day, trying to reach a conclusion as to why it was so difficult for me to let go of my other ex-boyfriend. He was just as heartless and as un-thoughtful as the others. And then i realised, it was because of all the little things we do together. Cooking, washing dishes, watching movies, conversations after conversations, setting up fish tanks, buying all the small, colorful fishes, walking the dog, and the likes. He would be the one guy i'd probably still be with if he isn't such a bastard. Cheating on me and breaking my heart time after time. I dreamt of him the other night. It was one of those kinds of nightmares i used to always have when i was with him. Those of him cheating on me. And it's very puzzling and disturbing for me to dream bout something like tht now since we've been separated for close to 2years. And then it dawned on me tht it's probably because i've slowly came to forgive the misdeeds he commited. My sub-conscious was probably warning me not to slip again. And slip i won't. Forgiving a person and being civil to a person who has caused u hurt is easy, forgetting the hurt tht had been inflicted upon u is hard. And i supposed in this life, i'll never forget how miserable and helpless i was during tht period. I'll never allow myself to be tht weak again.

OK back to the little things. Little things do not have to be expensive. U just needa be thoughtful and sincere. Sincerity can be felt and will usually be remembered for a long long time. So try it some time soon, boys and girls! Perform the little acts and screw the excuse bout doing some big shit! It's really not tht difficult to bring smiles to the faces of the people u adore.
