The Hidden Weight of Small Things

It’s not the earthquake—it’s the tiny cracks that break you.

We always say, “It’s fine, just a small thing.” A late bill, a rude comment, a little delay—nothing to stress about. So we ignore it, act cool, and move on.

But small things don’t vanish. They stay. They add up. Like stones in a bag, each one feels light, but sooner or later the bag gets heavy. Then one more stone—and rip! Kablang.

Stress doesn’t always come from big problems. Most of the time, it’s the little things we keep pushing aside. By the time we notice, they’ve already piled into a mountain.

So maybe the trick is simple: don’t ignore the small stuff. Handle it early, before it grows into something that knocks you down.
