As I woke to the blinding rays of the sun coming from the window this morning, it already made me smile. 'Cause, why not? It is already a sign of a new life, new opportunities, new adventures, and new reasons to live and continue what makes us go on every day. Aside from this, there are for sure a lot of reasons that we should keep our smiles on. Even just opening a blank draft or just simply staring at my phone can make me smile every time. It's either I have something to write about that could fill those empty pages or I'm just amused at myself because I don't have anything to write again. Stressing or pressuring yourself isn't a good way to solve a problem, so just keep your calm and smile, then you can think properly.

Just like what my fingers are doing right now. I'm just smiling while typing what comes first to my mind because I still can come up with something though having this writer's block. Not to mention, I'm also listening to the song "All Too Well" by Taylor Swift in that 10-minute version of her. It's a breakup song but I'm still smiling while listening to it. I'm just glad that I could still picture some of the events that are mentioned in the lyrics of the song. I'm just so glad that my imaginations are still perfectly working though I haven't written any short stories for quite a while now. Even though, I'm on the verge of breaking down while listening to it. I still managed to smile just for that, just thankful that I'm not completely numb from everything and I can still release emotions though I'm that cold and unsociable sometimes.

Speaking of cold, maybe not anymore for now and I can guarantee that. 'Cause every time I see his replies, it made me smile and even my heart is smiling. Teehee! Ops, don't think any hidden meaning over it. We are just friends and still just getting to know each other while comparing our minds every time, then laughing to our heart's content when we can find a lot of similarities. Dating isn't on my mind right now, so I'm exactly just looking for a bestie whom I can fool around with any time, without having any judgments like my bestie Skaterboi in real life. It's kind of boring sometimes when I can't share my foolish thoughts with anyone. My besties in real life are all busy with their studies, so I have to make friends with other people to keep my hyped self every time.

One thing that made me smile today also is when my shoulders got a massage this evening. I woke up with it aching along with my stomach. I have slept without a blanket all night long again. I know I have wrapped myself in my blanket before going to sleep and that's for sure. I haven't noticed that I have kicked it while I'm sleeping and there are the results, my aching shoulders, and stomach. Gladly, Madam called a Massage Therapist today. I'm smiling from ear to ear after hearing that. And now, the pain is alleviating. It is not that painful anymore, so I'm smiling more now.

Ops!

If you'll just let me elaborate on all the reasons that make me smile today, I can generate a 12-minute article with that since I'm just doing some free writing today. There's still tomorrow, so I'll reserve those thoughts for the next publishing day. Who knows when will I'll be having writer's block again, not to mention that I have a loud trainee here which keeps me out of focus as always. I'm still happy and thankful that I can smile all day because of her though she is annoyingly loud most of the time. She will replace my position here, so I can finally go home. It is still a blessing if it would be looked upon on the brighter side.

As I'm ending this blog, a smile appeared on my face also since I can publish out of nothing today.

What about you? What makes you smile today?

Welp, thanks for reading!
