like seeing someone smile while walking past them.
it makes me smile too.
I wonder what they're happy about and imagine they just had their day made for some random reason that only they will know. It's moments like these when seeing others happy makes me happy and therefore am happy for them. I'm neither envious nor am I bitter, I'm just glad to see that in today's world with so much hate, cruelty, pain, and sadness, people can still be happy everyday.
I have a friend who has thee worst luck I've ever witnessed and so much bad stuff has happened to her it almost seems as if she has some horrible curse on her. Yet, she comes to work with a smile on her face. Though sometimes it's a fake smile, she tries to make the best of her life. With all the bad things going on in her life, she can still continue on with a smile. She doesn't complain about her life, she doesn't curse at the world, she doesn't allow her life to be altered by all the shit. I admire her and her strength. It's not like she ignores the bad or tries to forget it, she knows that's just how things are and deals with them the best she can. I mean that's all we can do.
Trying to make the best of every situation isn't being too optimistic, naive, or ignorant, it's recognizing the fact that you're not the only one and everyone has those bad days, you just don't have to make other people's days bad because you aren't happy. It's a part of being mature and understanding that things are meant to be let go, misunderstood, and life just isn't your idea of perfect.
To all those out there in a bad mood today and everyday. Smile. You might make someone else's day, you might inspire someone, and you just might be happy. So just smile :)
