Don't do nice things if you expect something in return. Pretty simple, right? But what's an act without appreciation? Endangered. There has been a trend of less kindness in this world, that directly correlates with it being unnoticed. Some are too self absorbed to ever really see, that the best way to keep someone around, is to show gratitude in the sincerity of a handheld eye locked "Thank you." without the time restraints, the obligations, the unsaid apologies. There's nothing wrong with realizing someone did something special for you and there's nothing wrong with hoping someone realizes.
