The little things

In my 21 years and almost 2 months of life I've found that actions speak louder than words sometimes.
Don't get me wrong, words are still powerful in the aspect of laws, regulations and all that good governmental work.
Plus who could forget literature?!?
The best words are found in the depths of a Maya Angelou piece personally!


But anyways!
Sure we can promise to the moon and back that were going to do something, but if you don't do what you promised, wheres the worth of your words?
If you promise to do something for a friend say go to their band concert, and then don't show up. You've lost their trust.
Someone can spout words about change and wonderful fantasies, but if nothing happens were screwed.

Action.
Doing something for once.

I think for the first time i've realized the power of action.
Honeyed words mean nothing when a person doesn't show up or put the work in.

But going out of your way to accomplish something or to make someones day will always mean more.
Anyone can write a text that will suffice.
Not everyone can do what is needed to be done.

I've been in situations where a person promised to be there and then I was let down.
So now I don't believe until I have concrete proof.

The little actions done by people to show commitment, that's what we should be doing.

Don't tell her you love her via text.
Show up at her door at the end of hard day and sit with her and let her know you are there.

We've lost the value of being present. Giving your time rather than your words.

Whatever happened to classic ideals?
Going out of your way to be with someone.
Making time for a person instead of putting them off like an unwanted piece of homework.
Doing something nice just for the love of it. Not looking for a reward.
Doing more than the bare minimum.
Writing notes and letters to tell people that they are on your mind.
Thats what sparked this guys... Alex left me a note on my car. And it was a simple little note scrawled on a piece of paper. But it made my day.


Little things like that will always mean more to me than anything else.
