The other day I was able to witness two very different emotions painted on the faces of a vast group of people. Granted, I get to do that on a day to day basis because I am one of those people who enjoy people watching. My eyes scanned from left to right and it seemed like 4 out of 5 people had a serious look or frown on their face. I guess because I ended up pursuing the career of acting I turned out to be more observant and analytical then I could have ever imagined. But now I am just getting horribly side tracked. Plus to top it all off my mind is hazy as my eyes are slowly closing to head off to dreamland, but I will get my point across now.


As I mentioned about I noticed two different emotions on everyone’s face and the first one I wanted to attack was the serious frown look. I, more than anyone, can understand that sometimes we just have shit days where we do not feel like being happy. In the last few years I have wanted to make my life better. I am at such a high point in my life that I just want to enjoy it, but I also know that I can definitely make it better. So I thought about these unhappy faces and wondered curiously as to why they were unhappy? Was it a trouble time at home? Did they receive some unfortunate news? Then I thought could it be some of these people preferred to frown than smile because it was an easier way to blend into the crowd? My mind continued to toy with these ideas and it went back and forth from their thoughts to my own. I tried to think about days when I was unhappy and I just remember drawing out the frown much longer than it needed to be. I dwelled on being unhappy instead of moving on and I have realized that this was the little change I wanted to make in my life to make it better.


The following emotion I noticed, at least the one that was barely there on most faces was a smile. It was beautiful to see a smile illuminate such joy or happiness; it also made me wonder what caused such emotion. There is a plethora of reasons, but the point in the end was that there were some smiles in the crowds. It’s kind of funny how infectious a smile can be, just like a frown. A frown can actually make you feel bad or want to scowl for no good reason. Seeing the pearly white teeth shine bright off of someone’s face and ensue the best of emotions within you. They always say you should smile because it’s contagious. Smile because it can change someone else’s day and this is ultimately the reason why I want to smile more often. I want to smile to share that kind of pure love with someone else and because in my opinion a smile is beautiful on anyone and everyone.
