Smile!

Use your smile to change the world,
don't let the world change your smile.

So if you've read this blog enough you know I always claim I don't how to smile. Now I laugh a whole lot, but I don't smile, at least not intentionally. Too many frustrations when someone trying to take a pic says; "smile". Got a sister lost and cheesing way too hard. That's not todays' gist tho. Today is about the comforting smiles, the people who don't let what they're going through refelct on the outside.

A smile is known to be a polite way of acknowledging the lady/gent walking past you in the hallway or saying hi. Most at times we probably don't even want to smile, but out of courtesy, we do. You do not know what people hide behind their smiles. Sometimes the sadness in their eyes will give it away but that's only if you look closer and other times or most times it is genuine. So you don't get to walk around all gloomy because you'e having a bad day. Your smile could be exactly what someone else needs. Don't be stingy, it's free SHARE IT. There's always that one happy person and I swear that'll be me someday. Regardless of what knocks them down, they just strut through life like it's nothing. Thats what a strong bond with God will do for you. Stress free, worry free, happiness and gratitude induced life! I'ma get there someday but until then oya snap back into my now.

A smile is the light in the window of your soul

Smile don't cost a thing!

In this generation, we could easly get carried away by how fabulous and Lit peoples' social media are. I'm one of them! How some of these girls be knowing how to do hair and beat their face and have a bombass body is just beyond me! But the same way we mask our struggles with a smile is the same way they could mask theirs for the publics eye. I'm not saying all those with popping IGs are struggling with something. I am saying, however, that they are showing you what they want you to see or perhaps what they as individuals want to believe. Their joy possibly comes from giving you joy and ontop of the oh so amazing comments, you inturn uplift them.

We all have a devil we're fighting that no one knows about. An inner battle that we're struggling to win and the best way to keep forging on is to smile our worries away and maybe someday the outside will finally reflect the inside.

Personally, I've had days where I just wished I didn't have to go through certain things..but then I think to myself, if not you then who? God does not give us what we cannot handle. So even when I'm constantly fighting myself in my head I still smile knowing even though it may seem like it, I don't have all the problems in the world. It doesn't help that I'm a 'worrier' (let's pretend that's a word) by nature but looking at the positive, looking at my reflection in the mirror and smiling, I know that this too shall pass, one day! It doesn't have to be now,or tomorrow but my rainbow will shine through.

Here's to my family and friends who go through more than I'll ever know but still effortlessly make my day and go through life smiling! May your smile never fade and may your inside reflect those perfect smiles :)
