smile more

At first I wanted to just be pleasant, fake a smile as a refresher, but now I want to be vibrant. I want it to be that people just can’t help but smile back because my joy is so sincere and abundant. I want to spread the love, and this seems like a good place to start, so here I go!!

I found inspiration from my best friend. He has been through so many bad things in his life and still finds the strength to be happy all the time. He keeps telling me “Don’t forget to smile” at the beginning of every day and I just find it incredible how he can have more than enough joy even when the stuff he’s been through haunts him every single day. Every once in a while I remind myself of his words and immediately smile. now to make this a habit…

So sad, but I can’t smile when I’m in a harsh hallway packed with 2000 other students breathing my air. What I really want is to be able to at least fake a pleasant facial expression in the times I really don’t feel like it (like after geometry and science). I want to feign a constant happiness until I believe it. Well, maybe that would be annoying, so I’ll start with pleasantness.
