Give a Smile :)

Hey guys. I have been trying to upload a blog a soon as possible, but I've literally have had no time. Between school, lacrosse, and hanging out with my friends, my past week has been a whirlwind. I've decided that each week I am going to upload an advice piece, a piece about something going on with my life, recipes, fashion, etc. I kind of just want to make this a blog about me, and anything that I am interested in. So today I am going to write about being kind towards other people and staying happy because I just read something about someone I have known for awhile, and it really put things into perspective for me.

Some people may come off as the happiest people around, always smiling and laughing, always seeming as if they love life, but really they are in pain. No matter what kind, physical or emotional, pain is pain, and it can hurt people is unimaginable ways. I wish we lived in a world with no judgement, and no hurt, where everyone could be themselves, happy, and they would be accepted. But no, sadly that is not the case. We live in a world where people do unimaginable things to others because they don't agree with them, or because they believe that they are doing something wrong. I kind of just wanted to bring attention to the fact that you don't always know what is going on in someone's personal life, and that no matter what you should always be kind to people. You should always give someone a smile, tell them you love them, tell them how much they mean to you because you never know what is going on in their life. Especially with the holiday season coming up, it's a time for everyone to be happy, everyone should always be happy but we always have our days. Try feeding the homeless, giving to charities that help people in need, do something that will benefit people other than you. Last Thanksgiving I went down to skid row to feed the homeless people who lived in a shelter, and it really showed me how blessed I am, and how thankful I really should be. I think some people take things for granted when they shouldn't. But what I wanted to try to get across is that you should always try to help the people around you, holding back the unnecessary mean comments. Listen to people as they talk to you, and really just be there for people. As for yourself, do things that please you. Forget about what other people will think, if you enjoy it then go for it. I think that if you surround yourself with good people, and things that bring you joy that you can be truly happy. But, if you ever do feel down talk to someone, a parent, a friend, a sibling, anyone that you know will not judge you and will help you if you ever need anything. If you ever feel unloved or unwanted just know that someone out there loves you more than you could ever imagine. Try to give five people tomorrow a smile, because that might be the one thing making their day better.

Until next time,
Hannah xx
