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.
