"the little things you do to me...

...are taking me over, i wanna show ya." -colbie caillat

the small things can mean so much to me. like a papercut. it's so small but it can be so painful.

there is both a positive and negative side to the little things as do most things in life. but the little things can make my day or leave me feeling guilty for long periods of time.

for example: today as i was walking to class i saw a girl drop some of her papers on the ground and i walked right by her. the thought crossed my mind to bend over and help her but i just continued walking without pause. also take into consideration i was talking with a friend i rarely see while simultaneously eating a warm chocolate chip muffin. but still. it was a simple gesture of kindness i chose to disregard. and it's still bothering me hours later.

but then i also love the little things. like there was this cool little bug chillin on my stairs in front of my apartment the other day and i got a really cool picture of it. having captured that bug so crisply with a dinky digital camera was quite a nice moment.
a nice, honest compliment or even just a comment when someone notices something about you; like if you did your hair differently or are wearing a new outfit. or just those little catnaps you can squeeze into your day sometimes. like 15-20 minutes of glorious rest. I also saw someone riding a unicycle down the street which made me smile. :) Sometimes the little things make all the difference. so don't forget how much they may mean.

nugget of knowledge:

• i am missing some eyelashes on the bottom half of my left eyelid apparently to a vicious chickenpock(singular of chickenpox?)
