Because life's too short!

Yesterday,I said the most profound and thoughtful thing... "SMILE! Because life's too short for a  long face."

It just came to me, giving me a reason to never be sad again... Because pain is only temporary. Life's too short to wallow around and cry about every little thing. I mean, being able to express your emotions is very important, but why be sad when there's always something to smile about. Maybe it's something extravagant, like the guy you've like for over a year asks you out, or you make the sports team you've been working towards for the longest time... or maybe it's something simple, like finding a quarter on the ground, or thinking about how fortunate you are to have food every night. But think abut it; if it only takes one small thing to make you sad and cry, why does it take so much for you to be happy? It shouldn't be that way! Smile because you're alive, and you made it through another day on this crazy planet. Be happy because you have food, clothes, a house (apartment, town house, etc.), a computer, a phone. Because so many people don't have those luxuries. 

But promise me one thing.. . . 

Smile because you CAN not because you HAVE TO!!!

Always smiling... well almost always. (;
