Take a smile

While I was grocery shopping today, I bumped into Hot-guy-from-Italian-class. We don't exactly know each other, but we said a quick hi. Afterwards, as I was wondering why that had cheered me up so much, it occurred to me that he is one of those people who actually bother to turn on their smiles when saying hi.

 

Cheesy post needs cheesy illustration to match... 

Actually, I'm planning on putting something like this up in my grocery store.

Do you know what I'm talking about? Surprisingly many just nod and mutter a "hey", mainly signalling "Oh, it's you, yeah, I recognize you." That's it. Next time, why not try a smile as well? Not only does it make people around you happy, it's clinically proven to make you happy too.

I know this post is cheesy, but this is what was in my head today: Like most other human beings, I love it when people smile. Especially if they're as good-looking as Hot-guy-from-Italian-class.

And especially considering the fact that last time I saw him, we were both crying.

I quite like how dramatic that sounded... But it wasn't. We were actually in class, watching La vita e bella. Need I say more? I shouldn't think so. Oddly enough, the rest of our class were completely unfazed, as if we weren't watching the most moving film in history.... Not me, though. And not him.

So here's to letting your feelings show, be it joy or sorrow.
