"And my love is yours but your loves not mine; So I'll go, but we know I'll see you somewhere down the line." -The Paper Kites, Featherstone
I'll probably just be posting a bunch of (even more) random, quick posts. Like quotes. I like quotes a lot.

Just Another Post
Just as a warning for anyone who reads the random things I post, I won't be posting much for quite a while. I'll try to, of course, inspiration often strikes in the middle of doing some kind of difficult or important homework. (convenient, eh?)
Anyway, I'm just saying that I'm starting volleyball on monday which is going to be taking up my afternoons and nights for the next week. Once school starts I'll be pretty much completely busy from 7 am until I pass out around 11 pm. I really have to put a lot of time in because I'll be an executive in possibly 3 groups and homework and sports and senior year and...ugh. I don't want to even think of all of this right now. I just want to sleep.
So, just a warning. My posts won't happen often, but I'll try to keep up!

Making a Difference
There's a point for everyone where the stress just gets to them.
They wake up feeling hopeless and go to sleep feeling hopeless. They smile because society expects them to and they laugh because there's no better way to make people believe that they're happy.
As much as "take it one day at a time" works right before someones breaking point, afterwards one day may simply feel like too much.
You only see what someone wants you to see and that may not be how they're really feeling. In fact, sometimes the happiest person in the room. The one who laughs the most. The one who smiles but for whatever reason, doesn't really talk much may be the one in the room who is hurting the most. The one who goes home and just tries to bring themselves to smile. Just for one more day, they'd say. After that day, they'll be happy again. Happy for real.
So, whether someone LOOKS happy, sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, or anything just be nice. Smile at someone you've never met, say hello to someone standing near you or walking past you, compliment someone just because that shirt looks amazing on them and they probably don't even realize it.
The littlest thing can make the biggest difference in someone else's life.
