Noticing What You Bring

Last weekend, my friends and I were having one of those deep talks about our lives. What we noticed about ourselves, what we noticed about others.

Almost out of nowhere, I was told what I bring to this world. And that just about made me cry. My friends and I had such wholesome things to say to each other straight from the heart. Things I didn’t notice about myself, things I was shocked they didn’t notice about themselves, and things I didn’t think anyone noticed about me at all!

That’s when it hit me that I don’t nearly tell them what they mean to me enough. Why is it that to some of the people we’re the closest too in this world, we tell them things like that so little?

Now don’t get me wrong, my friends and I are the biggest hypemen for each other out there. We love seeing each other succeed. However, the “deep stuff” or whatever you want to call it, I know for a fact I don’t tell them enough.

So I’m making this a sign for myself to tell those in my life more exactly how much they mean to me. No, I don’t mean a full on soliloquy of heartfelt drama (dear god, don’t scare anyone…). I just mean if I notice something positive, I’m going to make the effort to say what I notice more. Maybe someone doesn’t see it in themselves. You never know who needs to hear it ◡̈
