Coloring

So you may be wondering what I may have to say about coloring. Yes, I do enjoy coloring. Who says a 16 year old cant color every once in a while? Sometimes you just have to get your mind off of the world. I know it may sound silly, but by picking up a crayon and coloring snow white and the seven dwarves, it's a bit like going on vacation. Something as simple as that can make your day a lot better.
I was hanging out with an old friend recently and when we're together we seem to come up with some pretty wacky things to do. I guess we bring out each other's creative, childlike side. Because we've been friends since second grade. So we colored a bunc of pictures and decided to do a little fun experiment. Who doesn't enjoy getting a cute little coloring page every now and then? So we went out in town (where she lives and I used to) and gave random people a coloring page. Our waitress at Pizza Hut, a family at Wendy's ect. After that as we drove around town, we waved to random people and told them to have a nice day. I know it may sound a little stanfe. Heck, if someone I didn't know gave me a coloring page or told me to have a nice day I wouldn't know what to do. But I guess it kind of shows how society is today. People are not open to new things. There are some people who you can tell do not mind your optimism and constant happiness. But some people seem utterly annoyed by happiness. I love making people smile. I don't see what's wrong with looking on the bright side of things. I understand that sometimes life sucks. I understand that sometimes you want to cry. And it's okay to cry! But to constantly complain about how horrible your life is and to not do anything to fix it, utterly annoys me. Be happy. I know sometimes the mere statement of saying you are happy is a very hard one to express. Because we are all not always happy. But there's always something to be happy about. If you are reading this, you are extremely blessed. You are alive. You are breathing. You can read this. Your on the Internet so obviously you aren't homeless. You may not realize it, but you've got a million things to be happy about. Sure, I don't have a boyfriend and people take advantage of me a lot. But I believe that every day is a blessing. Although some of them are harder than the others, I will never give up on making people smile. Because you never know what a simple gesture of kindness can do for others. Be an inspiration everyday. Don't be anyone but yourself. And color a picture. Make yourself smile. :)
