What interests me about this article of writing? Well, you can really tell that even though we may not appreciate everything around us, it loves us and cares for us. The author’s style of writing was insightful and truthful, and she revealed the truth about many things that us as humans think and do.
There are many connections about this writing that apply to real life, that you may not think and appreciate the smaller things, but once something happens and you find yourself needing support, the smaller things make it better and you wonder how you ever lived without caring for it in the first place. She shows how she became more in tune with her feelings and thoughts towards something she took for granted.
This writing article illustrates how that even if you don’t care for something at first, when you realize how much you inwardly love it, it shocks you. When something as small as a kitten or a puppy comes into our lives, it’s a lot of work to take care of it, as well as taking care of your own being. Pets are in our lives for such a short time, but in that short time, you come to love them and appreciate them. Pets live quite a short life, but they show unconditional love and affection for each minute they’re with us, and it leaves us sad and alone when they have to leave us.
This article of writing shows that we take the things we have for granted, and it teaches us to appreciate everything that we have, even if we didn’t want it in the first place. I grew up with 2 dogs, and when they leave us, we are surprised by the emptiness in our lives, and how the house is so quiet when you don’t hear their paws and nails clicking on the tile. The fact that she had a cat when she was growing up, and seeing despite how she didn’t particularly care for it since it was a lot of work, that the cat missed her and helped her through a mental breakdown more efficiently than a human shocks me.
