Little things
It’s those frivolous little things in life that bring us loads of joy. They blend into our lives so gracefully that we’ll never be able to discern how they’re camouflaged, but once we let go of them, they’ll play the trick — we end up missing them so much. I actually did experience this feel lately, and I badly wanted to pen down the same.
After having lived 23 years of my life in one place, I moved to a new locality a couple days back. Deep inside, I knew very well that I that I’d miss the people back at my old place, but never really knew that I could miss a multitude of little stuff that somehow brought me joy back then.
I used to begin my mornings with a walk at Tower park— an amazing landmark in Anna Nagar. It had an absolutely serene view with zestful people all around. This very sight used to infuse so much positivity and calmness inside of me. My beautiful apartment had lots of greenery, which indeed served as a feast to my sore eyes whenever they got weary of gazing at my laptop.
Everytime I was having a bad day, I used to walk down the lane to my favorite food joint and devour some delicious food, thereby sinking into another dimension and alleviating my soul. After work, I used to go down to my apartment’s park, where all those puerile games with my five little buddies made any gloomy day of mine bright in a jiffy.
Once I moved here, I felt like some part of me just went missing — almost like an abandoned piece of a jigsaw puzzle, without those little things that were once a part of my routine. All of us are running in search of happiness and calmth ceaselessly, in this pursuit, we tend to miss out on these tiny, yet significant pleasures of life. Perhaps, it’d be nice if we could take a breather every now and then, just to embrace their goodness. After all, nothing at all is permanent, so why not cherish these little things while they still last?!
