Keep track of the little things, good or bad, in the end, they add up.

Notice the way someone cares for you and how they react when you care for them. See the smile grow across their face or the lack of acknowledgement of you going out of your way for them. When you’re down, are they there to comfort you or are they there to boast about themselves? Notice the way that they move, it could be helpful but it can also be harmful.

Pay attention to the communication, often, it can become one sided. You can find yourself giving everything and getting nothing in return. Or, maybe, you’ll find a perfect balance. Pay attention to how they speak to you, how they speak to strangers, your family, and their family. Silence says more than verbal words do.

Look at how they treat you, both in the public eye and behind doors. You can treat them like a trophie and they could treat you like a secret. Look at how they treat your friends, look at how they treat your family, look how they treat your dog.

It may seem like all of these things, don’t matter but little things are often overlooked because, after all, they are small actions. In the end, they have a lot to say about someone. I’ll keep counting.
