Smile

Have you ever just been sitting in a dead silent room and wanted to burst out laughing because you remembered something funny? Or, just smiled to yourself after having a conversation with someone you liked a lot, or remembered that you would be able to see them later that day and were definitely looking forward to it? I know that I have, and to be honest I love those moments; I miss those moments. I love looking forward to seeing people everyday, and hope that they look forward to seeing me too...but of course the feelings could be one-sided; but it's all the same nonetheless. It's great smiling so huge that your cheeks start to hurt, and that you feel that the feelings that you harbor inside are absolutely contagious! It just makes life so much better, and it makes everyday well past bearable; and I know that we don't always feel like smiling, but one minute spent being unhappy, is one minute wasted. Despite knowing this, I am absolutely guilty of letting sadness or anger overtake everything that may be happening in my life; but I also know that it has to stop. I'm sick, and tired of allowing myself to let in everything except the happiness that I really want, and I feel that if we all do the same, then maybe the world wouldn't seem so dark or unwelcoming. I feel that we wouldn't see the world as some stranger only out to get us, and ruin our lives; we'd see it as what we should, a haven for us to love one another, and ourselves.
So do me a favor, smile.

Scars

You can tell little things about people through their scars. It's funny, we're born without them, but as our life goes on, we collect more and more (whether they be internal or external), and they become who we are. The scars of the heart are the worst, they can always feel just as painful as when the wound first opened, such as losing a friend, or those that happened to be more than friends, or family. It hurts all day everyday. Sometimes we inflict these scars ourselves, but there's never any going back. If we could reverse time, I'm sure that some would want a do over; I, however, have no regrets. They define us, these scars, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Hearts are Meant for Sharing

"We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find."
                                                                                                             -Unknown

I love this quote, it gives you just a little bit of a quirk of life itself. But in addition to finding that other heart that's "yours" I also think that the reason why we were only given one, is because it's really not ours to begin with. It is just one part of yourself that is distributed (not necessarily evenly) to everyone we love in this life; it's something that we don't get to keep. Our one heart symbolizes the one thing that really matters that contains all of our hopes, dreams, and fears, and then just whisking away those worries and fears, and shedding love is like giving little pieces of your heart away to those that you shared those things with. So you were given that heart of yours to share amongst others, don't try to build up steel walls around it, so noone can take it; but, also don't just give it away to just anyone. It does no good to feel as if you haven't loved enough in your life, or that you haven't let anyone else love you in return, or feeling like others just walk over you because of your kind, free-giving nature. Just give it away to those you feel you can trust, and also be aware that you keep just a little piece for yourself.
After all you've only got one life, and one heart, you don't want to spend it all at once.
Spread the love guys.

People

Gossip is apart of everyone's daily routine, whether it be good or bad, we spread it around anyway..even to people we don't even know, which is kind of bizarre. EVERYONE IS GUILTY, SO DON'T PRETEND THAT YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Anyway, it's the bad gossip that I'm getting at. It's how people always seem to have something awful to say about someone else, when either:
A) They don't know them.
B) Only saying it because other people are.
C) Because it's become some trend to trash others for the fun of it.
or
D) Because other people they know were hurt by that person.

All of these things that I just listed are NOT excuses to spread gossip about someone. People do get hurt by the mean things that you and other people can, and will say. SO I'M TELLING YOU TO PUT AN END TO IT. If you hear someone saying something awful, or even if you're the one doing it, kindly remind them (or yourself) that you don't know them, or their life story. I'm just getting tired of all of the hate, and drama that I see around; we shouldn't be trying to hurt others, but rather helping to bind mankind.

SO GO OUT THERE AND HELP STOP THAT GOSSIP.
Will you?
Because I know that I'll at least try.
