Notice
Notice is seeing the pause before someone answers.
The smile that doesn’t reach the eyes.
The way a room feels different after one person leaves.
Most people are too busy reacting.
Too busy scrolling.
Too busy talking.
But noticing changes things.
It slows you down.
Makes you kinder.
More careful with your words.
You start to catch details others miss.
The effort behind small gestures.
The tension hiding in jokes.
The gratitude never spoken out loud.
To notice is to be present.
Really present.
And once you notice,
you can’t unsee.
You can’t pretend you didn’t feel it.
So what have you been walking past lately,
that’s been asking to be noticed all along?
