Hello, Hivers! How is everybody doing? I hope everyone is fine.
Today, I will walk you through as how simple gestures made my heart happy. I mean, things don't have to be grand, extravagant and luxurious for them to be called special. Most of the time, it's the thoughtfulness, the initiative and the small gestures that greatly matter.
Without taking this long, this is what happened.😊
For almost three years now, someone has been consistent in spoiling me with my cravings, whether I crave for food, travel, rest, time or attention. Whether I'm craving or not, he just does things that made me feel extra special. With or without occasion, he always tries to surprise me with things and acts he knows will light up my day. From buying me plant pots, to making a lampshade, buying me food or giving me pets.
Recently, my cravings for food, specifically sweets, have been inevitable. Well, this is common for me especially on my red days. Aside from being irritable, food craving is my worst enemy especially when I'm on a tight budget. But someone is always to the rescue.
He happened to have a meeting somewhere in the north for a store branch that they plan to open. I didn't know he'd manage to come to the house due to his hectic work schedule. What he did was he intentionally dropped by the house and handed me a plastic - a plastic full of Leona's different flavors and best selling cakes and some fruits. Well, this is heaven! The kid in me is truly ecstatic! Good luck cravings!
He was after of his time, so he went straight to their meeting venue after dropping by the food he bought. I hurriedly went back home and opened the plastic. And look! These what welcomed me! A few slices of Leona's cake, in different flavors.
LEONA'S BEST CAKES
Oreo Cheesecake
Carrot Cheesecake
I forget how this called. I lost the receipt too.😊 But this is one of my personal favorite.
Bannoffee Pie
Chocolate mint cheesecake
Choco Mocha Mousse cheesecake
Japanese Cheesecake
Rocky Road cake
He also purchased a Leona chocolate slice bread and three pieces of banana bread in small sizes.
And now, here are the two of my most favorite Leona's cakes:
Blue berry cheesecake
Red Velvet Cheesecake
That didn't end there. He also bought some fruits.
I couldn't finish everything, of course. Hahaha. My craving has already given up. These cakes truly hit different. No wonder why Leona's cakes are among of the most popular and must-try cakes in the entire Cebu. The flavors are superb. It was really worth of a purchase.
EVERYTHING MADE SENSE
I had two 2-year relationships. Both ended with difficult breakups. In my own self assessment, I felt like I was the "more" person in the relationship. I felt like I gave more - more genuine love, more loyalty, more time - more in everything, but it turned out that they couldn't give back the same level and depth of affection and attention I was able to generously give them. Well, this is not to discredit the effort that my exes exerted in my past relationships. This is not pointing fingers on who did more and who lacked. This is not to count who should take the pride nor the blame. It was just things between us ended because it was meant to happen. And I couldn't have any regrets about it.
And as I look back, I realized that I could give the purest love to the "ones who came for a season", what more when for "the lifetime" comes?
And so he came. He matches all the vibes and energy I have. He even went on the extra mile. And then I realized why my two past relationships didn't work out. Now, everything made sense. And as I mature, I have learned how to be grateful for everything. And I am forever grateful to the One who sent him to me.
Some may say that what he did, bringing me my cravings, is nothing special. That everyone is capable of doing that. But, it is not how grand something is, it is the gesture and the little things that matter. It is him knowing the tiniest details about me. It is him paying attention to me. It is him effortlessly making my heart happy.
To those who almost give up in meeting the right one,
Do not lose hope. Someone will come your way, someone who has the same vibes and dreams as you, someone who matches your energy and loyalty. Sometimes, it takes time. Sometimes, it takes one brave step forward. Please wait. There is someone meant for you, someone worth the risk, someone worth the wait.
The right one is in stored for you.❤️
This is all for today's blog. Thank you for always taking the time to read up until here. Be well. Be safe.
Until the netswriting.
