10 REASONS TO SMILE!!! :)

SMILE!

There are over a gazillion reasons why you should smile. I, however am too lazy to list them all so I will stick with 10.

You should smile because:

1. You are ALIVE!!

 It might sound stupid and obvious and while you read this you are yawning, but its the best reason to smile. Many people died today and you're not one of them. That's a pretty good reason to smile.

    2. Toniiiiiiiiiiiight WE ARE YOOOOUUUUUUNNNGGGG!!!!!!!

What a great song! And the message is true. We are young, even if you have wrinkles, you should be young at heart. I don't mean join facebook or anything like that. I just mean you shouldn't take life too seriously, Smile, with your false teeth, or no teeth, or if you're a teenager, or actually young, all your teeth. Smile like you will never grow up.

 

   3. You  have an amazing smile

You might not think so but you have an incredible smile. You are beautiful and your smile is too.  A smile has the ability to make your whole face light up. Smile, smile, smiley faced smiles!!!

 

   4. Someone might fall in love with your smile

Need I say more? We all look for love, a smile might be what you need to find love. If you are lucky enough to have found love already then smile to him/her. Make them fall in love with you all over again.

   5. Smiles are free!

Who doesn't love free stuff?

   6. Don't be such a grumpy scrooge.

Frown lines aren't attractive. Smile lines are cute. Do the math.

   7. Life is full of beautiful things

Smile because of the small things. The sun, the moon, the rain. think of all the happy things. Happy, happy chaps!!!

   8. Smiling is contagious

Smiling is like a chain reaction. Smile to someone and infect them with "smile fever"

   9. Smile really wide for 10 seconds...feeling  better already?

Smile as if you're happy and eventually you will be happy!

  10. Smiles are sexy

They really are...<3

So there you go! Smile a little and just be happy! Life is too short to be sad!

Getting Out There

I'll be the first to admit it...I'm not a very outgoing person. I'm shy and awkward around new people and generally only stay with my crowd. I stay with the same people and do the exact same thing I did last week. Nothing ever dramatically changes in my life and, honestly, its getting boring! Months and months of seeing the same faces, staying at the same places, listening to the same soundtrack of my life...isn't as much fun as it used to be. I think it's time for change.

I won't pretend getting out of my "shell of security" will be easy but if everything was easy I wouldn't have the opportunity to change myself, grow up and live. Sometimes "hard" will make it easier tomorrow. I can't entirely change into a outgoing person overnight. These things take time. I need to start out slow, talk to people I usually don't associate with, meet new people and generally be a more open, free and happy person.

The only way I'm going to accomplish this is if I stop having negative thoughts. Thinking things like "They won't like me", "I'm going to embarrass myself", "They'll think I'm stupid" and other thoughts in that direction won't help me accomplish my new goal. I know I'm a fun person, or at least that's what I think. I can always work my minimal charm to its maximum potential, despite how low that "maximum" might be. Positive thoughts=more confidence. Its the golden rule.

Another thing I need to do..is actually doing it! I can't sit here telling you how I'm going to do something if I don't even bother doing it! Starting tomorrow I'm going to get up the nerve to do something different. Make a new friend. That's all I need to do! I'll just greet people in the morning instead of pretending not to see them. Tomorrow my arms are ready to show the love and give some people some love! Who knows, someone might have needed it.

I tend to walk straight past people I see everyday, people I share classes with, people who I should greet but never do. It's so wrong and I'm missing out on some great opportunities to make a new 'BFF!!". I can't just pretend that I don't care anymore. It's time to show people that I really am interested in their lives. It all start now!

If you're reading this and you're going through a similar situation then go for and start GETTING OUT THERE!!!!

25 Facts About Me

Recently I've seen many bloggers doing this so I figured it would be fun to do this too. Just following the crowd of course. My life really isn't that exciting but either way I plan on blogging it out so here goes nothing!

1. I am a MASS of insecurities. I don't like my hair on some days, I hate my legs and bum. I guess my boobs are okay though...
2.  I hate when people tell me to do something twice when I agreed to do it the first time. GRRR!
3. My biggest dream is to travel to London.
4. I wear reading glasses.
5. I love malls, but there's never enough time to thoroughly enjoy what each mall has to offer. I especially love discovering what a new mall has to offer. I tend to get extremely excited!
6. I have a bad habit of not completing a goal because I simply lose interest. Sometimes I sit and wonder how long this blogging thing will last...
7. Chocolate is my weakness, but don't give me white chocolate. It makes me feel sick.
