About a month ago I went to my local Miniso to pick up a gift for my little sister for her birthday. I got her a blind box and some tube of these rainbow sour stripes. As I was paying for it, the girl at the register mentioned to me that she'd been meaning to try them forever, but just hadn't gotten around to it. So, I grabbed another box off the shelf, and bought that too. As I was leaving, I handed it to her and told her to enjoy them. She was really surprised and kept asking if I was sure, and if I really meant it. 

She finally took them after like five minutes of us going back and forth, and I left while she went to the back to go put them away. I went back to that same Miniso today, and she was there again, and got so excited! She was so happy to tell me that she loved the candy and it's one of her new favorites, and thanked me a ton for it.

It just kind of dawned on me then that it really is not hard to be remembered forever by people if you're just nice to them. Like that little box of candy cost me like, $2.50. And a month after I gave it to her, she was still so happy and grateful for it, and it really makes me realize just how much easier and more rewarding it is to be kind.
