tis the season, y’all. it’s so weird for me to already be in the christmas spirit because, not gunna lie, i’m kind of a holiday grinch. like, until now, my rule was always no christmas music until christmas eve… no exceptions. but this year is hecka weird & i think i know why. not to sound spoiled (even though i have been spoiled my entire life), but i’ve never actually had to spend money on christmas presents. i would always pick something out (usually last minute) and ask my mom to pay for it, even though it was something that i was gifting. this year, that’s not the case. i started christmas shopping right before thanksgiving break to make sure that i got people gifts that would scream “i thought of you.” & i paid for them with my own money. once i started picking out things i was excited to give, i couldn’t stop.
there is something so beautiful about giving. knowing that even the smallest things can maybe make someone’s day a little better is what is making me want to keep giving. odd flex (but ok), but i even started giving money to homeless people as i walk to class. this positive reaction that i’m feeling is forsure not something that only happens to me, though. i’m thinking that most people respond to giving the same way i do… so it only makes sense that if we all give just a little, it will make us want to give more and more! idk fam give it a shot, it can’t hurt.
seeing the reaction on people’s faces when they open something that is heartfelt is worth a million bucks. don’t take moments like that for granted. give a little, you’ll see.
