The Little Things Aren't So Little

 

I am realizing now that the little things in life carry so much more weight than the big things. I mean really, how often do BIG life changing things happen in your life? How often are you plagued with monumental decisions or "life or death" choices? Not often. What you DO experience in your life is an endless amount of small  decisions, problems and conflicts. It means a hell of a lot more when friends and family are with you day in and day out helping you to navigate the small things.


Let me explain.

I mean if I found myself pregnant right now I would have plenty of people to come to my rescue to comfort, encourage and support me. But most of the time I end up fending for myself when it comes to the little things, like feeling lonely. Who do I have to talk to when I'm feeling neglected at home or like my boss hates me? Sure people would come running to console me in the former but who would care to listen to the latter?

If these small worries are always there with no one to help us sort them out then ultimately we feel as though no one is really there for us. I know I can count on you to help me through the storm, but what about light showers?

We need people to talk to about the mundane aspects of our life because they are more common. Let's face it our lives aren't action movies. Crazy things aren't popping off at every turn. And since that is the case, can I call you while I'm at Walgreen's trying to figure out which shaving cream is the best, can I bother you about the best way to turn someone down without hurting their feelings? No, this isn't a life or death text, but can you tell me if these dress does a disservice to my booty before I buy it? Will you be there when I don't have to go to the hospital? When I'm just feeling sad for no real reason at all?

Do you have people you can talk to about the small things in your life?
