There are so many things in our lives that we take for granted, without realizing how precious they actually are. And perhaps at the top of that list are our relationships, the genuine ones, whether they are family or friends.
Appreciation doesnβt always mean holding someoneβs hands and saying beautiful sentences about how much you value them. Sometimes, appreciation simply means knowing who your people are and caring for them.
In this world, many relationships are built around give and take. We may not always want them to be this way, but sometimes it becomes a necessity, at our workplaces, in our social lives, and in many other parts of life.
But genuine relationships are different.
They are the relationships in which you find peace. The people you sit with and think, βWhat would my life be without these people?β
If the thought of losing someone makes your heart ache, perhaps thatβs your reminder to appreciate them while you still have them.
Donβt wait for regret to teach you the value of a relationship.
Enjoy the time you have with your people. Be good to them. Avoid unnecessary conflicts. Make small efforts. Reciprocate the efforts they make for you. And donβt always wait for them to initiate, sometimes, be the one who reaches out first.
Because one day, even if the relationship isnβt lost, distance may change the way you experience it. And when that happens, you should be able to look back at the memories and smile, knowing that you truly cherished the time you had.
