...replacing the tears with a smile...

I look around and l see people lost in their troubles, trying to figure out a way to escape from what tortures them… l look around and l see many unhappy faces… All of a sudden they have lost the reasons who made them smile…
Recently l was a part of them… l was desperately trying to find a reason that could bring back the smile on my face… My only way out was my friends who tried to make me hope for better days… Friends l might say are THE treasure.
And u can say ‘’come on! You’re 22 and you have your family, your home and your friends! What on earth could have made you so unhappy?’’ well yes… you are right! l have them and l’m grateful for that. l just stood so unlucky in everything else, with difficulties with my health, with my uni, with swimming, with relationships and all and l guess that were the reasons who made me feel that way. Truth is l felt like quitting everything and starting a new life for a few months in another country. l felt like l didn’t have any strength left.
It’s tragic cause we people create problems even though there that they don’t exist. It’s like we don’t want to be happy… we have our eyes totally closed to important things that we have and we focus ourselves to meaningless things that we can’t have. Sometimes by trying so hard to change something we actually lose precious moments from our life. Some things can’t change. You can either deal with them or replace them.
As one of my friends, who by the way l really thank and appreciate, told me :
‘There comes a time in our life when we have to let go all of the pointless drama and the people who create it, and surround ourselves with people who make us laugh so hard we forget the bad things and focus only on the good.’ After all, life is too short my friends to be anything else but happy! For that reason we don’t have to waste it with people who don’t appreciate us.
l guess l have to be strong cause things will get better. It might be stormy for a while, but it can’t rain forever.
Laugh when you can, apologise when you should. Let go of what you can’t change! It’s the only way you will feel happy and forget everything else!
A good laugh makes a good day. Allow joy to live in you and trough you. Use it as an advantage in a dark world to make it lighter. Cause after all my friends…
There’s nothing like taking deep breaths after laughing that hard! Nothing in the world can compare with a sore stomach for the right reasons….

l congratulate those of you who don’t lose their smile even though in difficult times and l hope you could stay that way forever…
and l suggest to those who feel sad and unhappy to take a better look on their lives, focus on the positive stuff and put a huge smile on their beautiful faces…
