 Post subject: To see a smile. |
 |
|
I'm not quite sure where I am going to go or even want to go with this thread, hell i'm not even sure of the base idea. But i've been thinking a lot about happiness lately and how hard it is to find (at times) or how difficult it can be to get everything 'right'.
But throughout all of these seemingly meaningless thoughts I've realised that to simply smile is an amazing thing, a person regardless of anything in the whole world can smile and mean it. To see a person smiling can mean so much. Not only that but there can be so many meanings behind a smile. Anyone can tell the difference between an actual smile and a posing one, but its the actual smile...glimmer of happiness, just something about it that can make anyones day.
For a starters there is that 'reassuring' smile, when things seem a little down or upsetting, to see someone smile and to be 'reassured' by that smile, is simply stunning. Secondly, there is that smile, you know the one where you look around and you see the happiness amongst all of your friends and peers, they may not even be smiling exactly but you can easily see it. I think thats about all I can think of at the moment.
Now think about the last time you saw or remember seeing someone smile at you, or even the last time you smiled or sat there in complete appreciation of someone presence. Now try to picture the emotions you felt, using your emotional memory or some bullshit like that drama tried to teach me. Now think about the feelings you get in the midst of a fight, or disagreement or even a mildly upsetting conversation with your friends. Compare those feelings....
Its easy to see which feelings are 'better', even though 'better' can only be defined by your mind. Its still easy to see, I guess what i'm really trying to get at is.... that these feelings that we have whilst we're all 'fighting' and 'bickering' and what not.... we all know they aren't very good.... It seems I have gotten a lot off track with this post, but lets just keep in mind all of our emotions we share with each other whether they are good/bad/happy/sad and try to keep a lighter heart amongst everyong I figure.. Well thats what i'm going to try  I hope it works.
Edit: This reminds me of the time that Debbie, Shane, Wilkins and I turned up to Billy's house on Christmas eve after he had invited everyone to his house. He was so happy to see us, just the way he smiled was enough to tell us he missed us etc.

there's my point of existence, right there. i've tried explaining it, but i never really got anywhere.
just to be happy, because it feels better being happy than angry/in conflict/whatever. if you're angry, you're not happy, so why bother being angry?
(long pause)
i... can't believe how crazy i am. or maybe not, maybe how crazy everyone else is. here i am, about to join the army for a life of being shitted on by corporals and sergeants, living in holes filled with mud, being rudely awoken just past midnight, and possibly being required to actually shoot someone, a girl i really care for is living a life of self-destruction, i have hardly any relationship with my family, (i know they'll be there for me and such, but i just don't care, well, sort of.)... i'm not really doing music anymore, failed at school, i have no idea whether god wants me to preach yet, the list goes on...
but i'm happy. and i'm confident. i mean, to outsiders, my life probably looks pretty bad right now, but i'm happy... and i think that's amazing, just that i'm happy because i choose to be.
and i remember, the last time a smile really made me happy... i remember it, and i feel happy now because of it. |

yeah sometimes a smile can make everything feel beter... no matter how much crap happens to me I still manage to smile... you just cant let the bad stuff life to get to you.... happiness means different things to everyone.... if lighting a fire makes you happy.... go nuts
and elliott... you arent crazy... you've just got character... craziness is in the eye of the beholder |
