What is something that others might consider it as trivial, but for you it is a rather big deal?

People having the basic manner. As I grow up, I meet some people who don't bother to say thank you, please, and sorry. As simple as saying who you are first when it's your first time texting that person also matters too.

Quiet. The value of quietness is often overlooked. "Quiet" should not be mistaken for passivity. It can carry a strong sense of purpose and intention. In a world filled with noise and constant stimulation, finding moments of peace and silence can be incredibly refreshing. The ability to be quiet and attentive allows for deeper understanding and empathy. Quietness allows each person to gather their thoughts and express themselves when ready. Quietness creates a peaceful and calming environment, even fostering a deeper connection between partners.

Rather than ‘big deal’ as in problem, I always think of this as such…a ‘big’ big deal in my entire journey. I heard it from a friend and I agree with him, the best way to talk to someone is by wanting to get to know them better. Talk to them, ask what they like, ask how’s their day, and idk men, just probably learn a thing or two about them, and remember them. It’s sweet, to know that someone is actually making an effort in talking to you, and not letting you to be talked at. It’s trivial, but not everyone can do that.

Can the answer be in a positive gesture? When someone remembers about me in details when it’s the least I expect, that unexpected moment of care. They don’t say it, but their gestures convey that “I pay so much attention to you even when you don’t realize it” and/or “I remember you whenever I see this”. It might seem insignificant to others, but those little acts of kindness or care make a huge impact to me.
