the little things

im trying to think. but i can't remember. when was the last time i hugged someone? its been weeks. how sad. i guess that when you do something, like hug someone, you dont really think about it. you take for granted that there will be another hug soon, just as you assume that your last breath wont be the last. the problem is that when something so special becomes too familiar, it loses its appeal, its intrigue, and its purpose. i remember the last time i looked up at the moon in disbelief. it was only a few minutes ago. that is something that will always take my breath away. that, and looking up into a star studded sky. few things bring me more pleasure, or leave me in awe of their beauty. in this new year i am trying to be amused by the little things, the everyday things, that have become a routine for me. i wish that i was a baby once again, seeing this world for the very first time. i want to be amazed by the little things.
