Introduction
Friends are an essential part of our lives, and they teach us the real meaning of life. It doesn't matter how many friends you have; what matters is the value they add with small gestures, adding experiences, and being there for you. They contribute to making our life beautiful and complete.
Many people describe life as a book and people as its chapters. If my life was like that, I would say my friend was one of my favorite chapters. She impacted my life significantly. Sometimes people do random nice things and don't realize how much it affects the other person; the same thing goes for my friend. She helped me introduce myself to my passion - art.
Amongst innumerable nice things that she has done for me, this was the nicest one because it changed my life.
Why Was It The Nicest Thing?
I was just an average student with no interest in sports or extracurricular activities. I just used to spend most of my time doodling in my notebook during classes and games. No one noticed it until she did; she told me that my doodles were beautiful and I should take part in the upcoming art competition. I was an introvert and denied it because I thought it would make me look like a fool, but she never let it go. When she couldn't convince me, she took the responsibility of enrolling my name without my consent.
I wasn't prepared on the day of the competition, but I doodled one of my usual: a face. To my surprise, I got the first prize, and after that, I took part in every art competition and never looked back. I realized that it was my passion, so I worked hard to improve my skills, and now I am a freelance artist.
Many of my friends have done many nice things for me, but I might have never gotten to know this side of me had it not been for her.
How Did It Make Me Feel?
It was a small action, but she made me realize that art wasn't just my hobby but my passion by entering my name into that competition. Because of her, I realized my purpose and my goal.
There are many things a lot of friends do for us, and even though they are trivial, these actions have a significant impact on our lives.
Final Thoughts
If you ever feel like doing something for someone, go ahead and do it. You never know how your action might impact their lives, or how they can change it all. Always be a good person and do nice things for people as these small gestures make a huge difference.
