LIfe Lesson #8: It is the little things that matter most...and it is the little things that will drive you the most insane.

Have you ever noticed that people are always talking about the "little things"? Think they are trying to compensate for something? Why are people always talking about the little things? Hell, if something big happened to me, say I won an Oscar (I predict Best Actress in 2020), I'd be telling EVERYONE about that, probably carrying it around like Kramer does his Tony. (If you don't know who Kramer is, you should get off my blog because you aren't cool enough to read what I have to write.)
Why shouldn't people talk about the big things? Why shouldn't we go after the big things in life? "Be happy with the small things, they are what matter most." Screw that! Granted, Gus was small at one point but he's growing daily, at what point is he too big to be what matters most? Okay, you're probably rolling your eyes, sipping your double shot Caramel Machiatto with Skim Milk (as if that will make up for all the caramel you're consuming) thinking, "Well, someone's taking this clique pretty literal, isn't she?" Well, Miss Snotty Pants, or Mr. Snooty Pants, let me tell you where this is coming from...
Gus pooped in the toilet last night. Yes, that is right, he went right in the toilet.

I was one proud Mama, this was a first time. It was a very big deal and, in my gorgeous brown Come Hither eyes, everything my child does is a Big Deal. This got me thinking about the big things in life and why do we focus on the small things? The small things suck! It is always the small things that bug us the most-static electricity in our hair, food in our teeth, wedgies, the word you just can't think of, the person you can't place but you know you know them, that bitch who wronged you in 3rd grade-and when we mention them to others, they reply, "Oh, that's just a little thing, let it go." MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Cherish the little things, let them go, WTF.
I think the problem is, people focus on size too much. Before we venture further in this discussion, let's get one thing out in the open, SIZE DOES MATTER. Yes, of course it also matters what you can do with it, you also can't do a whole lot if you don't have much to work with. Okay, now that THAT is out of the way. I think people need to decide what matters to them and what doesn't. If you want to chalk it up to size, fine, but you don't have to. Say, for instance, you don't like the color blue, than go with, "Oh that's just a blue thing, let it go." Or go with the animal approach, "Oh that's a field mouse, you don't want to hang onto that." (Which is true in the literal and figurative sense, field mice have diseases, don't keep them. Gross.) See what I mean? We could start a whole new trend here. Of course, until it catches on, people will look at you strange and judge you but really, let's be honest, everyone already does that anyway, at least now you'll know why.
