20 Pics That Prove Beauty Is in the Little Things

We’re so busy hustling round and round that we simply forget some trivial pleasures. Like one’s home, little poems, solitary walks, cute handmade gifts, and amusing things seen and overheard. So we at Bright Side found people who seized the day and were able to find beauty even in the tiniest things.

2. “A crochet portrait”

3. “I don’t have enough memory to play games on my phone. So my boyfriend just randomly showed up at work and brought his Game Boy from when he was a kid.”

5. “A small moment that made me smile”

6. “Caught the wedding photographer having a special moment of his own.”
