I am always amazed at how the simple things in life can change your whole perspective of things. A smile from someone can brighten your whole day, a simple song can lift your spirits, something as easy as letting someone know you care about them can have a huge impact on someone's life. In my life I have noticed that it is usually the small things that let you know someone really cares about you. Everyone wants someone to make the huge sacrifices for them, to perform the amazing feats that prove they are really loved. But, really, it takes more effort to perform the small menial tasks, the everyday in-and-outs that show more love and care than making that one huge sacrifice. It takes more effort and love to show someone you care about them 365 days a year for countless years than it does to spend a short amount of time making some colossal statement of affection.
Likewise, it is a wonder to me how something that seems so simple is in actuality complex. Take love for example. So many people talk about it and make assertions about it that it would seem it is a subject easily explained and an emotion easily describes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Love is so deep, so complex it is a wonder anyone tries to explain it. I certainly feel inadequate to do so, and so, won't attempt. I could talk of the various aspects and facets of love, the wrongs and rights of love, but I would never come close to saying anything that even summed up love. It seems it should be easy to express, easy to experience, easy to give, but it is not. It is complex. Fortunately, there are simple ways to express such a complex emotion, and for that I am grateful because sometimes the simple way is the most effective way of doing something.
