Even the littlest things matter

Remember the time you held the door for an elderly person? Or the time you waved and made faces at a grumpy baby in the grocery store? Think now, of all these little things you've down over the years

You make a difference. Yes you.

Those little random acts of kindness shine more than you could know. That five dollar tip for a cup of coffee, or that time you hung out with your friend after a bad break up. Things that may seem meaningless or inconsequential in the moment can add up, and boomerang back to you in unexpected way.

I know the saying "do unto others" has a lot of religious baggage attached, but it's the one thing the church taught me that I use despite not being overly religious. Make a difference in someone else's life, and watch karma return to you in an even bigger way.

Every time I think that I am worthless, I remind myself of my disabled and elderly neighbor. I clean and do her laundry in exchange for a few bucks and some hugs. People in my apartment building have come up to me to say what a difference I make in her day. For me, it was small and something I did just to be kind, but to her? It made the day brighter and easier to enjoy. She no longer has to worry about clean clothes or slipping in the kitchen.

I assure you, even if you feel worthless, you are so much more. Your actions define you in ways you can't imagine, and all those random acts of kindness really do matter.

YOU MATTER

Me: *waiting in line at the grocery store, tired af after an emotionally long day*

Cashier handing me my receipt: can you do me one favor though?

Me: *instantly panicking, trying to think of what I did wrong, anxiety, etc*

Cashier: have a good rest of your day?

Me: *genuinely relieved, a bit surprised* thank you, you too.

I almost cried in the parking lot. At that point in the day I had nearly no spoons left to deal with human interaction but this just made me feel happy and seen and just. Sometimes people aren't horrible.

Seeing Logan in the TVA makes me laugh so hard for some reason? Like I know he’s lived to see technology evolve and stuff, but there’s something so funny about a guy from the 1800s standing in some kind of retro-futuristic timey wimey agency to me. Man is confused as hell.

like what da hell is a polar bear doin in arlington texas

Random kindness

So I work at a library and about a month ago I helped a little old woman who is legally blind figure out how to listen to our audiobooks on her tablet. We got to chatting and I mentioned that I always listen to audiobooks while I knit, which made her very excited and she told me all about the afghans she used to make when she could still see. She was so sweet and I was so glad to be able to help her figure out a way to still enjoy books without being able to read.

Yesterday I answered the phone at work and when I said my name the woman on the other line got so excited and said “Madeline?? You’re exactly who I wanted to talk to! This is Marie, you helped me about a month ago. How late are you working today?” It was her!! And about an hour later she and her husband showed up, and she was carrying a huge stack of old knitting patterns for me, and her husband brought in a few boxes full of yarn. They couldn’t stay long but I was so touched that she remembered me, and I struggled to not just flat out start crying when she handed me the patterns. When I looked through them later I realized it was her entire personal collection from over the years, including all her personal notes and drawings and even some photographs of her finished pieces. No one in my family knits, and to have someone pass on their legacy to me like that was incredibly moving.

This isn’t what I usually post here, but with life being especially dark lately I wanted to share a moment of happiness and a reminder that a bit of kindness goes a long way ♡

Bus Ride

I broached a carefully wrought plan, after spending the weekend at my ex-girlfriend’s it was time to take it easy, I was going home to my city which was six hours away from where she lived. I got on the bus, sat two seats down behind the driver, and went through my pocket, I counted the loose change and realized I was twenty pesos short; I frisked all my pockets hoping that I had misplaced money,…

theres a million blogs these days with names like "puppygirl-macrobulge" and "netflix-for-girl-balls" and whatnot who make 150 posts a day like "theyre all out of 'piss from a girl who's been holding it in all day playing factorio' at trader joes, whats the fcuking point of it all" and i gotta say, i didnt expect that to be its entire own genre of posting in the 2020s.
