Smile

Hey, you. Yeah you.

Sometimes, life is going to suck MAJOR ass. You're going to have to deal with heartbreak, death, failure, hate, jealousy, loneliness, fear, goodbyes, depression, weakness, doubt, anger, regret, and disappointment. The people you though you could trust are going to betray you. Dreams you thought you could accomplish will be crushed by unexpected reality. Love will make you feel like you could fly one moment and make you feel worthless the next. Just when you think the storm has finally passed, a cloud will appear out of nowhere and burst open, drenching you with hopelessness.

Yes, life will not always be kind to you.

Even so, I want you to remember that something will always come along to let you know that the darkness will soon be lifted. That something could be a smile from a stranger, a hug from a friend, a comforting quote from a book, a soul touching song. A ray of hope can come from anywhere. And when that ray of hope shows itself? Smile. Smile. Smile because the world just let you know that life is still full of beauty.

You just have to remember to look for it.
