Little things that make life feel softer
You know what I love?
How it’s always the smallest things that make life feel lighter.
Like waking up before your alarm and realizing you have more time to rest.
Like the smell of your favourite shampoo when you wash your hair after a long day.
Like clean bedsheets and fluffy pillows that feel like safety.
Like the way tea or coffee tastes extra good on quiet mornings.
Or when you find money in a pocket you forgot about.
When you hear an old song and suddenly all the memories come flooding back, but instead of hurting, it just makes you smile.
When the sky turns pink for no reason at all and you catch yourself thinking, “Maybe today wasn’t so bad.”
It’s your friends sending you memes that make you laugh until your stomach hurts.
It’s strangers holding the door open for you.
It’s your pet looking at you with eyes that say, “You’re my favorite person.”
It’s finally cleaning your room and feeling like your mind just decluttered too.
It’s lighting your favourite scented candle at night.
It’s walking home under fairy lights or moonlight and feeling like you’re in a movie.
Sometimes happiness isn’t about big milestones.
It’s not about always being productive or having everything figured out.
It’s in the simple little joys scattered throughout your day like hidden blessings.
So if today felt boring or heavy or unproductive, I hope you find a small reason to smile before you sleep.
Maybe it’s your comfy blanket.
Maybe it’s the way your playlist hits different at midnight.
Maybe it’s just the fact that you made it through another day.
Whatever it is, hold on to it.
Life is made up of these tiny, beautiful moments stitched together quietly.
And even on days when nothing feels extraordinary, I hope you remember – it’s okay for life to be soft and simple.
