Everyday life can become so stressful and overwhelming that sometimes we forget to pay attention to the small things. We don’t mean to sound cliche, but it’s just too easy to fall into the rut of everyday life, the swirl of the most recent political drama, and the stress of the world and forget to live in the moment. Luckily for us, there are people who remind us why it’s so important to pay attention to the world around you and appreciate the small things. Here’s a collection of photos from Internet users who stumbled across cool and unusual things in everyday life and shared them with the rest of us.
#1: Secret Door
Can you imagine buying a house and not knowing there’s a secret door to another room? It already sounds like a scene in a horror movie. This secret door was discovered during a house tour, but in this case, it doesn’t lead to some treasures, past secrets, an underground coven, or a mysterious world, but the utility room in the house.
Why a secret door, then, if it isn’t protecting anything secret? Why not a regular door? Opening this door was a big risk, but it’s relieving to discover it leads to the utility room. One major lesson we’ve learned from movies is that it’s better not to go opening secret doors. Now we’re wondering how many such doors are left yet undiscovered in the house.
