Little things

‘Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air’ - Georges Bernanos For a week I challenged myself to stay away from social media and the huge impact it can have on your daily routine. Ultimately the distraction that social media gives us is keeping us from noticing the little things in life. Things that might actually make you think twice about something that would normally not enter your mind. Creativity is being pushed away by the stimuli of your mobile phone on a daily basis. By losing that distraction I was able to see the beauty in the smallest things you can imagine. Like how beautifully those flip-flops match the long grass in the early morning light. Or how visually attractive some objects can be when you put them in another setting. I distracted myself from the distraction by looking at - and appreciating - the little things in life.
