All the Little Things

When I was younger I never brought much thought to all the things that life provides, for what was I to know, I didn't put much thought to anything. When I was younger all I wanted to do was spend all day having fun. I never appreciated the things that really mattered, but that's okay because that's normal for a kid, but when I grew older it hit me harder than I could ever imagine. Oh how clueless I was. I started to learn what it was like to lose everything I never even knew I loved. I learned what true sadness was. I learned how suffocating depression was, and I began to think it would never end. A full four years feeling life just hated me, it truly was hell. But then, one faithful day, she released me from her unloving arms, the depression that is, and I never felt so complete.

I quickly learned the Beauty of Life. I discovered that I love the beauty of nature, and all that it provides. I found that I love the way the birds sing songs and make me feel at home.I realized how the calming breeze kisses your skin on a hot summer day and how amazing it feels.

And I came to love the way the trees dance with such rhythm. I began to truly appreciate the small things in life and vowed to myself to never let these things go unnoticed. That was of course until life decided to start hitting me again.

I discovered true fear once life began to hit me again. Paranoia struck and I thought maybe, just maybe, depression would pay me another visit. But I thought back to the promise I made myself. Never let the small things in life go unnoticed. Appreciate everything that comes my way. So I did. I fought, for the only things that truly matter are the little things that constantly provide for you, and keep you alive. Things like the comfort your family provides you, or the breath-taking smile of a loved one. Oh I really love music. I love the enchanting sounds it makes, and the emotions that emanate from the strings of a guitar. I love the story the singer shares, for everyone to listen to. Everything said and done I love the beauty of living. I love the little things that life provides you.
