Smiles

Everybody has something they notice first when they look at people, whether it be their clothes, eyes, hair or shoes. For me, it is their smile. A smile can change everything; it can make people in a better mood because it’s so contagious. I love when you see someone and they look just normal, maybe even grumpy, but when they smile and their eyes light up it just gives them a whole new look and makes them seem so much more personable and happy. Smiles can also give hope; in times of trouble when someone can make you smile, even if for a stupid reason, it can show you that the future will be better. No one wants to be around people that are always frowning.

                Smiles are so important, and there are all different kinds of smiles. Smiles can be hopeful, they can show love, exude pride or they can simply prove happiness. Smiles can hide a lot of pain, but if you look closely enough, you can tell when a smile is genuine or not. People smile for others and for themselves, and the best is when they smile because they can’t not smile. There are moments that come up that just make your heart flutter, the weight on your shoulders lift, and a smile show up on your face before you even realize it’s coming.

                Smiles at strangers can make their day, or when people smile at you it can show you a little bit more of their personality. Smiles and their voices and laughter are what I remember most about people when they aren’t around. They are what I think of when I miss them, and what I want to see and hear when they are down. Smiles of friends and family are what make memories of them so great. (305)
