Things you don’t get a medal for

Standing for the one being bullied.

Being quiet when the room is raging.

Reading a book instead of bingewatching.

Going for a walk instead of sitting on your couch.

Drinking a lot of water.

Moving on from a friend who did not say a goodbye before moving on.

Walking in a park for your mental health.

Waking up in the morning and exercising before the day takes over.

Loving your parents but not becoming like them.

Putting aside money for your future, however bleak at the moment.

Bringing joy to the table, whichever table you walk to.

It is good to do things for which you might not often fetch a medal for, because the right thing is the right thing even when no one is watching and even if no one cares.
