Small Kindnesses

Yesterday at dance we were working on our recital dance and there's a part where different "couples" are going out and doing lifts and other cool tricks. Now me and my partner had decided we really didn't want to do this, but another girl wanted to and her partner couldn't do it with her because there is a pronounced height difference which doesn't really work when you're doing lifts. So, I just volunteered to trade partners for that part because it would be easy and I knew no one would want to trade. This seemed to amaze everyone. They thought it was so nice and sweet what I was doing which I kind of don't understand because it's just something that seemed obvious.

I mean I know not a lot people, it seems, now days really care about other people's feelings and making others happy, but I like that. I like to make people happy, which at times does backfire and usually ends up with me being hurt because I get attached easily, but it makes me happy. And I think that's more important.

So, this experience has taught me a little about the way people have changed, I guess. People look at a kind gesture and are amazed by it and that's just sad. But being able to do small, kind things, that's what makes my day.

Love,
Natalie
