For years, I used a certain mug for my morning cup of tea. One that someone bought me as a present once ☕️.
They probably forgot they’d even given it to me.
I once listened to a song on repeat for days because I fell in love with it after someone told me it was their favourite 🎶.
They probably forgot they’d even told me that.
I once had an outfit that I wore over and over after someone stopped me in the street to compliment me on it 👗
They probably forgot they’d even done that.
They probably forgot.
But I didn’t.
I remembered it all, to the point where the mug and the song and the outfit became little things in my life that brought me great joy 🥰.
So never underestimate the little things you do every day. The seemingly trivial, forgettable things.
Because, whilst they might be trivial and forgettable to you, I can almost guarantee that
for someone else…
they could be entirely
the opposite.
