You should always tell somebody you're thinking of them before you end your day.

The Importance Of A Good Night Message
Kelsey Dietrich

Today I am writing to emphasize the importance of a good night message. It may not seem like this is really that big of a deal; however, after you do begin to think about it, you realize just how special it really is.

Sending a good night message shows somebody that you are thinking of them before you complete your day and start recharging for a new one. While this action may or may not be the very last thing that you do before going to sleep, it is still worth noting that you have made time to show somebody some well wishes as the day winds down. A good night message can be sent to anyone that you are close to or whoever seems to be on your mind in-particular that night. This includes parents, siblings, other family members, friends, and significant others.

The form of a good night message may vary. It can be a text, Snapchat, phone call, or Facetime. Moreover, the content of a good night message may also be varied. Depending on the method by which you choose to convey your good night message, you can keep it short and simple or elaborate into a mini conversation reflecting on the events of your recipient's day. No matter which route you choose to take, whoever receives your good night message will appreciate the mere fact that you made an effort to take some time out of your day to communicate with them. It's definitely the thought that counts; that thought will most certainly not go unnoticed.

Additionally, it may come as an initial surprise to receive a good night message. Then, your entire body will fill with joy as you realize that somebody has acknowledged you and sent forth a message of wishing that you have a good night. As the day comes to an end, this person chose to focus their time and energy on you. That is an amazing feeling.

What's an even more amazing feeling is making somebody else feel good. By showing somebody that you are thinking of them is important at all times of the day. Specifically, a good night message attempts to end somebody's day on a happier note; hopefully, they can go to sleep feeling content and loved no matter what they endured during the day.

Furthermore, good night messages have the potential to turn into nightly rituals. You and the recipient may make it a habit to exchange "good nights" every evening. The specialty of the good night message increases as you make a tradition out of the little reminder that you are thinking positively directed at somebody of great importance in your life.

If you do not send good night messages to anyone, perhaps try it out one evening. You may be pleasantly surprised with what happens next in terms of the strength of your relationship with the recipient in the future, the positive emotions that you will feel after making an effort to reach out to somebody, and the gratitude you will feel as a result of their reciprocation if it occurs.
