the grandiose ‘hollywood’ gestures made to attract the attention of someone, usually your potential lover. the secret admirer scenario that’s been played into your mind from a young age. the impressively expensive gift given as a show of affection. we’ve all done them, we’ve all thought them; yet in the end they’re meaningless. we can all come up with the grand gesture in order to ‘show’ that we care, that we admire, that we desire, that we love.
yet, it’s the little things that have a bigger impact. yes, the little things matter. their importance is mostly underrated; usually ignored or left unappreciated. the little things, the sweet kiss on the forehead of the one you love before one leaves for work or prior to falling asleep. the simple smile just because your loved one happened to look your way. the chocolate candy left on the pillow or the note saying ‘good morning’ left besides the coffee maker. the short call halfway through the day to simply say ‘i miss you’ or the short text message to say ‘hi’.
affection is expressed more deeply through these little things, taken for granted by all at one point or another; because, miracles rest in little things.
