Best Little Things in the World

I was thinking of Amelie the other day (in particular the scene where Amelie reaches into a sack of beans just for the comfort), made me realize the importance of the little things in everyday life, as compared to the big accomplishments. I'm not saying big accomplishments (good grades, getting a good job, etc.) is unimportant, but it's the tiny things that make me wake up everyday and want to live life. Whether it's a particular passage in a song, a particular whiff of smell you catch on the street, or anything else like that, it's what makes me appreciate life the most. Here are some I can think of:

  • Rufus Wainwright, "Going on a Town" app.2:06

"I may just never see you again or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you America"

One of my favourite bridges in a song.

  • cobblestone roads
I just imagine myself one day, living in Europe, driving on a Vespa, and enjoying life!

More to come soon!
