i'll try my best

one thing that i’ve never understood is why it’s so difficult for some people to do the right thing. and i’m not talking about typical ‘good things’, like picking something up when a person drops it, or saying excuse me when moving through a crowd; i like to hope these things are common sense. i’m talking about the less obvious things, the things people choose to do, or choose to avoid for various reasons.

if someone’s hurting, you ask them if they’re okay. you comfort them, you make time for them, you make them feel like someone cares about them. if someone just wants someone to talk to, why not be the listener, the person who’s there for them. if someone does something nice for you, you return the favor. if someone needs help and you know you can help them, step up and help them. 

i’m a firm believer in the ‘little things’; i honestly do believe that it’s the little things that make all the difference. so basically, what i’m trying to say is that if you can be that person for someone, be that person. it might be a simple little thing to you, but in turn it might mean the world to them.
