You know, that thing, attention, it’s like the oil in your tractor, keeps things running smooth. No oil, and things start to grind and break. Same with folks, you know, in relationships and all that.
Why that Attention Thing is a Big Deal
Now, I ain’t no fancy doctor or nothing, but I’ve seen a thing or two in my time. And I tell ya, if you ain’t paying attention to your folks, your relationships are gonna dry up faster than a puddle in July. It’s like this, you gotta water your plants if you want them to grow, right? Same with people.
If you ain’t showing you care, how are they supposed to know? It’s like expecting a crop without planting any seeds. Just ain’t gonna happen.
That Attention in Love and Marriage
Now, when you’re sweet on someone, or you’re hitched, that attention is even more important. It’s like the sun and the rain for a cornfield. You gotta have both, regular like. If you ain’t giving your partner some attention, some kind words, some, you know, just being there and listening when they talk about their day, well, things are gonna get rocky.
- You gotta show ’em you care.
- Little things, like a touch on the arm or a peck on the cheek, that shows you’re thinking about ’em.
- And listen, I mean really listen, when they’re talking. Don’t just be waiting for your turn to speak.
- Spend some time together, just the two of you. Like when you are shucking corn, and chatting away, that’s important.
If my old man didn’t pay me no mind, I’d be madder than a wet hen. We wouldn’t talk, we wouldn’t be close. Same for him. He needs that attention too. It’s a two-way street, like driving down the road, you gotta stay on your side and watch out for the other fella.
It ain’t about big fancy gifts or nothing. It’s about the little things. Like remembering their birthday or bringing them a cup of coffee in the morning. Just showing that you’re thinking about them. When a man forgets important things, a woman feel not good. Attention important for relationships. A woman need a man to show attention to her.
Friends Need that Attention Too
And it ain’t just for lovebirds. Your friendships need that attention too. Friends are like the fence posts around your property. You gotta keep them in good shape, or the whole thing will fall down.
You gotta check in on your friends, see how they’re doing. If they’re going through a rough patch, you gotta be there for them. Like when your neighbor’s barn burns down, you go over and help them out, right? Same with friends. Good friendships are important for everyone. Everyone need good friends.
- Call ’em up just to chat.
- Go do something together, like go to the church or something.
- Remember their birthdays, send a card.
- Help ’em out when they need it.
If you ain’t paying attention to your friends, pretty soon you won’t have any. It is important to pay attention to friends. Nobody wants to be around someone who’s only thinking about themselves. A good friend is someone who gives you their time, their ear, and their shoulder when you need it. Friends give you attention, that is why they are your friends. If no attention, no friends.
