Small Gestures
Small gestures are the little things you can do to show others you care. These are nuanced and often repeated over time such that they add up. In the end, these small gestures can be far more meaningful than big dramatic displays. For example, a reliable friend who has showed time and time again that they are truly on your side by being supportive and nice.
Little Comforts
Little comforts are things that feel deeply satisfying, safe and sustaining without being anything overly luxurious or indulgent. Life can be a very demanding experience that can be quite exhausting. Little comforts give you a chance to recharge.
Human Experience
The human experience is a collection of experiences that so common that they are almost universal such that most people will experience each of them eventually. This includes little things such as playing or experiencing freedom.
Natural Things
Another common connotation of the simple things is that humans tend to make everything overly complex with technology, social structures and so forth. People commonly feel that natural experiences represent a return to something basic that we have forgotten.
Summary
The simple things are elements of life that are potentially rewarding or meaningful that flow easily to people.
