If you're reading this, it's the little things.
It's the flower that's handed to you while walking on the Lawn to your next class.
It's the coffee that was made for you, perfect to taste, with "have a great day!" written on the side.
It's the girl that holds the door open for you when you're carrying more than life can handle.
It's the late night phone call from your mom telling you she loves you.
It's the way the golden glow of the sun hits the treetops during the final hours of daylight.
It's your best friend that sends you Campus Cookies from 71 miles away during your exam week.
It's the man that runs after you to return the $20 you dropped.
It's your first heartbreak that eventually molds you into a stronger and healthier person.
It's the part of your favorite song that gives you chills, blasting through the speakers of your car on a cool summer night.
It's the endless laughter to the jokes you won't remember with the friends you'll never forget.
It's the ups and downs, the highs and the lows, that make every single day worth it.
It's the little things that get overlooked. That are taken for granted. That are unappreciated.
It's the little things that shape our life and makes us human.
It's the little things to look forward to. They happen everyday, all the time, and they never stop.
It's the little things that keep me going. They're the moments that I continue to live for.
If you're reading this, take time to appreciate the little things.
