If there is one thing I appreciate it is a Random Act of Kindness or a RAK. I love doing them and I love receiving them. This month I did a crochet one of a little whale to hold earbuds(I will post a pic later) and today I received a knit pattern one. It's just so nice to receive things like this! I've had good karma and I blame it on that.
Idk why I just love doing things for other ppl though. It pays off sometimes too like tonight when I got that email with the pattern. It feels so good to help others or do something nice for them. It's nice to be appreciated too. It's like on Christmas when you give someone that gift they wanted soo badly and you watch their face as they open it! You just feel good. Who doesn't like feeling good?
I try my best to always be kind to everyone but I'm far from perfect. I can be as bitchy as the next person but things like doing raks makes me feel like I'm earning a little bit of that lost respect back. I think everyone should do things like these just because they do make you feel good. No one is perfect and sometimes it means more to get respect from a perfect stranger than a long time friend. That's why I like to do charity things as well. I have been lucky enough to have the things in life that I need but not everyone has. Just giving someone a two second smile on their face feels great. It often pays off too in more ways than just that smile or a thank you. It doesn't always but when it does it's totally worth it.
I know that we'll never get our wish for world peace but doing a good deed gets us a little closer. As an 18 year old college student I often feel like there's not a whole lot I can do but in reality there is. Just telling someone something nice can make their day and I love making pals days. So will I be able to change the world? Probably not but I can change someones day from bad to good and knowing I can do that changes my own personal world and that's pretty cool.
Lots of love
Margot
