This is not something like the series “Little Things” that all might have watched. This is something related to real life and of course about relations and that has been loosing its charm these days due to lack of interest, faith, or urge of doing something for that special someone. Yes, I’m not asking any of you to do something for someone who does not reciprocate at all, that would be considered as foolishness. You can set a limit to yourself as to how much you want to drag yourself for someone until they reciprocate of actually understands that they really mean something important to you. If you find that you are being ignored, neglected, or deserted, you either try again or leave the relation keeping your self-respect. Relations that make you feel suffocated are not worth trying.

What do little things mean in a relation?

Firstly, do you even consider these little and simple things important in any relation? Or are you the one who believes in big huge things and changes in life that makes the other happy? I consider myself in the first question and I have always lived that way by doing just little things for people knowing to me or even unknown. Helping someone, being there for loved ones is different they come by default when you are close to them. Little things is just by giving a smile to someone first thing in the morning, you never know he/she might not have seen a good morning but after your smile it would just help them give a second of happiness during the start of the day. Greeting everyone you meet with a smile is the best way to start your day, let it be home, on the road to the one who looks at you or at work, your one smile and greet would help someone light up their day.

Occasions, are the only days we like to make someone feel special, why? Do we lack money or interest to show that person how much we love them even on the regular days. Make memories even on a regular day, order favorite food if they are hungry, buy flowers, keep a glass of water ready as soon as they come home after a tiring day, prepare dinner some days, but something what they have been looking for, etc. Should we wait for birthday, anniversary, friendships day, Valentine’s Day? Why can’t we just express on and non-occasional day? Why wait for such days when we have 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day. Is it so difficult to express or just say thank you for being my friend, thank you for loving me so much, thank you for caring, thank you for being there always etc. express to your friends, parents everyone you think has helped you wear a smile on your face. Little things does not only mean by doing it for your partner, it means for everyone related to you or who are around you. A cute text, tight hugs, long replies, remembering the little things, kisses on forehead, a quick call just to check if they are fine, everything means special to them if it is genuinely tried. Monetary things, expensive gifts, social updates, are meant for those occasions but for simple and ordinary days these little things matter a lot.

How would you feel if a friend of yours would text you exactly when you are upset and asks you what happened with all ears to you, listens to you and just says nothing but stands beside like a pillar, wouldn’t that help you feel relaxed and better than before where you were even finding difficult to even look up and smile? I have followed this mantra always that have at least one person in your life who you can share your everything with, let it be good or bad, happiness or sorrow, just someone who you feel comfortable with and who wouldn’t judge you for what you say, who wouldn’t even laugh at you or talk ill behind you. I’m sure all of you have that someone on the top of your phonebook list like an emergency. All are busy in their own lives and work struggling to get better day after day and do not have time to even think once about anyone sometimes not even themselves. But this is completely wrong. Make a point or a habit of messaging or calling that one person everyday anytime you are free just to say hello and see what change this makes in yourself. Trust me it would be the best thing to do between your tiring days. Make them feel special, let them know they are valued and are on the priority list always. Expressing and showing what you feel is important to keep the relation live and happy. This would suffice which will help make the relation stronger.

Connection between two people or soul mates is not only meant for couples, even friends, parents, and other relations are even strongly connected than your partner. It is just the understanding and the bond which gets you closer.  It is because they express and understand each other so well that they need not feel anything less in life and the little things they do are just enough. You can’t have ten soul-mate, it is just that one you feel more connected to provided you make an effort to show them that it is you and thank you for being with me.

Get up tomorrow and try the little things for that person and see how things change between you and him/her. You would definitely feel better and happier than before. Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our hearts.
