In my experience it doesn't take very much to make some people happy, while others expect the world. You never realize the little things that can make your heart lift or make you feel better about yourself. Sometimes its as little as a passing smile from a friend or someone you don't even know. Other times it can be a well placed compliment. It can also be just sitting around with some friends talking of randomness. Some people feel that they need to be out all the time doing stuff, but personally I'm content to sit around and relax once in a while. As long as you surround yourself with people that don't make you feel bad about yourself then thats a good start. Why would you wanna be around someone who makes you feel bad anyway? I've never understood that myself, but others think that people will change. Some people do change but other times you need to seperate yourself from the downers. When you can learn to appreciate the little things, you don't sweat the big stuff as much.
When it comes to relationships it pretty much the same. When you have "feelings for someone", for lack of better words, it may just take being with them to lift your heart, no matter what your doing. Its the random touches, touch of the shoulder, a quick hug, holding their hand, or even that catching of her eye across the room that makes all the difference. It doesn't take very much sometimes to show you care. For girls it could be that random rose that ends up on your car in the middle of the night, or some chocolate brought at the right moment. Maybe its the guy that will go shopping with you even though he knows what he's getting into. lol. Its the little unexpected things that make the difference in a relationship. For guys it may be a nice cooked meal or just having some company to watch a sports event on tv, even if the girl isn't interested in it. Its all based on preferences though and what does it for you. Some people may find these things as expected, whereas others just hope it happens. Some may never have experienced many of these little things and thats a shame, but hopefully sooner or later it will happen.
So whether its a realtionship with a friend, more then a friend, or just life in general remember the little things and you should get by just fine.
Thats about all I got to say. I was just doing some thinking and thought I'd share it. Goodnight to my readers. And if theres more then the usual 2 then so much the better. haha.
