the little things

Its the little things in life that make it good.

The little things like big cups of tea on cold winters days.
Red lipstick when you dont feel like going out.
Nights in watching bad movies that you have already seen a hundred times but still love.
Its the little things like knowing that you will always have that one person who will be there for you even when you havent seen them for months at a time.
Not wanting to go to the gym, but actually enjoying it when you get there.
Spending the day reading blogs written by friends all over the world.
Looking through old photo albums and remembering the that things can be awesome, even though right now they arent
Its the little things, like listening to the radio and singing at the top of your lungs
Driving through the rain to reach your sunny destination
Cleaning your room and finding something you lost.
Photoshoots with friends
Its the little things like the crush you have on that guy and the butterflies that you get when you see him, or he talks to you.
Cheek kisses and cuddles.
Your guy friends pretending to be your boyfriend when a creep hits on you
Jack on the rocks.
Its the little things like late night heart to hearts with your friends
Emails from friends you have yet to meet, encouraging you to keep on keeping on.
Little kids and their imaginations
Its the little things like video chats with your best friends from the other side of the world. Oh alabama how I miss you. {isnt carol simply the most beautiful girl ever?}


What are your little things that keep you going?

  3. Bad Horror movies - you know the ones that are so bad they are actually good.

    Yeah - they are awesome.

    Oh and when the kids at my school talk to me in the cutiest broken English and say "Teacher - I love you!"

  11. I agree. It's the small things in life that we take for granted. I love it when I go for a walk with my husband and we walk by an old couple. I'm always curious if that will be us one day :)
