He didnโt know I needed it,
But when he held the door I felt noticed.
She didnโt know I needed it,
But when she let me in her lane I gained some hope for humanity.
They didnโt know I needed it,
But that call from my childhood friend made the pain a little more bearable
She didnโt know I needed it,
But my momโs 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.
Iโm already running late to my appointment.
Iโll 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.
