There are many things in each of our lives that are worth crying over and being upset about, but if we look around for a few moments, we realize that there are plenty of other things around us that are in need of a smile. I'm sure that we've all heard the saying "For every moment that we spend unhappy, is a moment of happiness that we will never get back." While we should always walk around and look like Barbie, I think it's better to try and smile as often as you can, to hide and block out all the negativity around you.

Some people in this world are good at masking emotions. They make it nearly impossible to tell if they're having a bad day or not. I somewhat admire these types of people because I have no wall to hide my feelings and emotions when I have a low day. Even when the world is turned upside down, the people that are able to pull it together with a smile on their face are the ones who know what they're going for in life and know what they can take. They know that to get to what they want, they'll have to remain positive and always be looking for the brighter side of things.

I think that the easiest way to have less of the down moments in life is to find something special and important to you, and look to it when times get slow and tough. Something to look forward to when hope is gone and you get discouraged. No matter how bad things get though, there's always something better waiting for you in tomorrow. Things almost always get worse before they get better...sounds strange, but it's true. It's just how the strange order of life goes.
