Smiles

Smiles

When it comes to smiles, all are beautiful in their own unique way. Whether they have dimples, braces, gummy smiles, toothy smiles, gap teeth, or even missing ones, they are all beautiful as a sign of happiness. I am often delighted to see smiles no matter how they look because smiles usually mean happiness. Being happy and showing a smile, whether closed or a happy toothy grin, makes me so happy. How do smiles make you feel?

On my bad days, when someone smiles at me or compliments me with a smile, I end up smiling and happy right after. I've had many cases where I have had a terrible or lousy day, and a smile can go a long way for me. I have always thought everyone deserves to see a smile and smile from a young age because it is so special. A smile can make grumpy or seemingly unapproachable people much less scary, giving more room for people to become friends. Most of the time, all people need is kindness and sincerity. Smiles that you can tell are sincere can make you feel all fuzzy inside, and they'll give you the want to smile yourself. 

I smile a lot, especially at random people at the store, on the street, in school, in church, and anywhere people inhabit. Now I know what you're probably thinking, "But doesn't that seem fake or too happy? Doesn't that hurt, you know, smiling all day?" Well, yes, my mouth does get a little sore, and sometimes, I do not feel like smiling all day. But I make sure that when I smile, they are sincere, and being happy is something that I like feeling. Smiles eventually make me feel better no matter the day. 

On another note, I know many people who only smile at people they are close with. Maybe they do not like their smile, don't feel like it, or don't like to. Most people have a reason to smile, so I'm curious to learn what makes you smile daily. Or do you prefer not to smile? Anyway, thank you for reading!

Mental Health

 Entry #10 Mental health Yep, here it is. Mental health. This is something that is a complicated topic for most, even though almost everyone goes through a rough patch with their mental health. Still, because it is such a taboo topic that no one can dare talk about or worry others will look down on, pity, or treat them differently, people refuse to tell others what they're going through. Even I have struggled and continue to struggle with mental health, but the problem was that I never wanted to ask for help. Even my closest friends didn't know that I sometimes wanted to disappear and that they would be better off without me. But I could not have been farther from the truth. Image source So I am writing this to let you know that even though this is a complex topic and you may not want to share with someone, after I shared what I was going through with someone I trusted, I have been able to let go of some things and be happier than I was. I have also realized that no one would b...

Food Convenience

Entry #9 Convenience Image source Americans are all for convenience. But when is too much convenience too much? We are constantly seeking the quickest solution to all our problems, for example, easy and fast ways to lose weight, get abs, gain muscle, get married, get a good job, etc. But the main thing we go for is the fastest way to eat and get food. Now, why is this such an important topic? Well, a lot of this food is mass-produced and heavily processed. Even though many canned and bagged vegetables seem healthy, it doesn't mean there aren't many GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and other unhealthy things in them that are added.  Image source I get it—we are busy people, so we go for the fastest food to eat and get out of the house. But then again, is that really healthy for our bodies and even the bodies of our loved ones to whom we are feeding this food? When thinking about convenience, there are many gas stations and stores where, as soon as you walk in, there is food...
