He didn’t know I needed it,
But when he held the door I felt noticed.
She didn’t know I needed it,
But when she let me in her lane I gained some hope for humanity.
They didn’t know I needed it,
But that call from my childhood friend made the pain a little more bearable
She didn’t know I needed it,
But my mom’s good morning text made the day a little brighter.
It got me thinking how often I do something
Small, and seemingly inconsequential
But that makes somebody feel seen.
How often do I think…
Someone else will hold the door.
I’m already running late to my appointment.
I’ll call next week.
They already know I love them.
Smiles to strangers
Save ruined days.
Slowing down leads to noticing opportunities.
You might not always know,
But to them it shows through.
And at the end of the day, we all need it too.
