Simple acts of kindness

An act of kindness can be anything. It be anything from complementing someone, offering to help someone or just being there to talk to them. This doesn't require a lot of effort, but to the person you have shown kindness to it can mean a lot. They may not have self confidence in how they look and by having someone complement them they feel better about themselves and that comment may have made their day.

This post was inspired by an act of kindness that someone showed towards me. Obviously A-Levels and other forms of education require a lot of work. This means that there are times when some work needs prioritising. I have to write long essays that go on for pages and pages. I put this work before my art A-Level work. Anyone who has taken art at GCSE or A-Level will tell you that if you ever fall far behind with work it is a nightmare trying to catch up. My artwork was not dangerously behind, however I was struggling to remember everything we needed to have included in our sketchbooks.
The other day I was telling someone in my art class that I couldn't remember everything and that I didn't have a lot of free time to do artwork. Without hesitation they told me that they would make me an art list. For the next hour we went through our sketchbooks and wrote down what I needed to add.  They even decorated the list saying to me, "who wants a boring list when you can add colour and pictures".
I really appreciated their help as I didn't ask for it an wasn't expecting it. Thanks to that list and a bit more free time I have almost caught up with all of my artwork.

What I'm saying is that that person didn't have to help me but they chose to. These acts of kindness mean something to the people they help and is always appreciated.
