Express, don't assume.

There's so much going on in our lives that we often forget the little things in life. Birthdays, anniversaries, the first snow, the sun's warmth on a cold morning, the tiny gestures that send chills down our spine. As humans it seems we're programmed to automatically grow close to a select few and share all our dissatisfactions with those people, rather than showing our reasons for contentness. With our lives constantly keeping us on the move, we often forget how good it makes us feel to receive a compliment or to hear someone is proud of you. At times, we need this appreciation to push us forward and excel, while sometimes it just keeps us happy inside. As relationships prosper and we tend to grow closer, we forget to celebrate the people we love who have kept us happy for this long and got us to this point in our life. We easily take them for granted and assume they know how much we appreciate them, but do they really? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. But I do know that it feels great when your told you are. So don't assume, they may have no idea. Make an effort, go out of your way, you never know how much of an impact you may make on a person. It's a great feeling we all know and love. So remember. Express, don't assume.
