The Right-Hand Corner


The small things. The big things. Important things. Insignificant details.

They all matter.
Some more than others....but without each of  them the picture would be incomplete.

Some people prefer to look at the bigger picture, others prefer to notice the small right-hand corner of the picture (you know what I mean).

Then there are those who like a little of both. They like to focus on that little right hand corner, so that when they finally decide to step back and see the entire thing, each and every inch is exactly how they want it to be.

Those little details are pretty important in every aspect of life:

That first look you get from your crush
Your first kiss
When your friend genuinely remembers your birthday (without having to check facebook)
When that same friend stays up until midnight to wish you happy birthday
When a stranger compliments the blouse you're wearing, they have nothing to gain from you, but are just nice
When your boyfriend leaves a rose in your locker for your 'monthaversary' or just 'cause

They may seem like the smallest thing at the time, but they're exactly what you're going to remember in a few years. Even the bad things that happen to you will seem unimportant. For every bad hair day, break-up or lost championship game you have over 100 amazing things to appreciate.

Pay attention to what happens around you and what people say to you.
You never know when you might miss something important, and once you do, you may not get that opportunity again.
