The little things

I didn’t think much of it at the time. It was just a simple gesture as l call it now.

Being the regular workaholic and miss economical but this particular day l decided to take a bike home. Let me spend small money, l musn't trek all the time. Body no be fire wood. Abi?

That's how l handed the biscuit with me to the bike man that carried me to my destination, l never had the intention of offering him the biscuit. But l did while he dropped me off and yes he accepted it, smiled, thanked me, and that was it. Or so I thought.

Later that week, I bumped into him again. This time, I decided to walk, but little did I know, this decision would lead to another unexpected gesture.This time, I was walking. Don't judge me—I just didn’t have enough for a ride!

l was with a 10 litre Jerrican on my head. Goodness! I was tired. That's how l heard someone calling "sisi" "sisi".

It was the same bike man! I barely remembered him but he did. Before I could say a word, he was already offering to help. I panicked. “Ah, I don’t have money o!” I repeated, half-laughing, half-serious. But he waved it off, insisting to give me a ride to my destination, same location, same spot.

You mean i’m getting a free ride?

I was stunned. All I did was offer a biscuit. Something so small, so insignificant to me. And yet, to him, it was enough to remember me, enough to respond with kindness.

It made me wonder—how many little things do we overlook daily? A smile, a small gift, a quick act of kindness. We often brush them off, thinking they don’t mean much. But what if they are the most powerful moments we share?

How often do we dismiss them as “too small” or “too little” to matter? But maybe, just maybe, the little things are the big things in disguise.

There are days l remind myself: Keep being kind. Keep giving, even in small ways. Someone remembers. Someone is touched. And sometimes, the truth is kindness finds its way back to you.

It does.
