It's officially fall, the leaves are beinning to change and the air is crisp. It's been cloudy latelly and rainy but I still love the cooler weather.

I like to sit outside the Starbucks on my college campus at the University of West Georgia and I like to people watch. I like to watch body movement and body language as others ineract with each other. I like to watch how someone reacs to another or how people hold themselves when they're walking around alone.

I see people all the time looking so glum with their heads poined to he ground. Look up, look around, stop frowning, stop pouting. Enjoy the lie you live whether you're alone or not. Enjoy the presence of yourself. Learn to love yourself. I see girls by themselves all the time and the just look so miserable unil they meet their friends. Smile, you don't know the help you can give someone with a simple smile.

The girl you saw the other day that seemed really upset, I'm sure that if you had given her a simple smile it would have made her day. Or if you had stopped and given five minutes of your day to a complete stranger it could have been even better.. So stop, we're all human. We all have feelings, emotiongs, rough times, happy times, bad days and good days. Be kind to each other. Smile all he time. Love thy neighbor. Enjoy the company of others. Be joyful throughout the day. Be happy that you are alive and the people around you are alive.

And when you're down remember, think of the happiest things. It's the same as having wings. Always bring yourself up. Don' fall into the depths of dreperession. The darkness. The sadness. Stop before you go down that road. Think of the happy times of the times with friends and the times that make you smile. And then,
surround yourself by people who are only gonna lift you higher. Be with the people that make you happy. If you don't want to be with others you know, sit in a coffee shop. Enjoy the quiet whispers of the people around you and jazz music coming through he speakers. Like I am today. Like I do everyday. There is always a reason to be happy even if there are ten reasons to be sad. Focus on the positive. Life's too short to be upset all the time.

Life changes every minute of every day. You lose friends. You gain friends. You realise your friend wasn't ever really your friend, and that person you used to hate can make a really good friend. You look for love. You find love. You lose love. You realise all along that you've been loved. You laugh. You cry. You laugh so hard that you cry. You do this, you do that. You really wish you hadn't done that. You then learn from that and are glad that you did. You have your ups. You have you downs. You see good movies. You see bad movies. You wonder if your lief is just one big movie. You look at others and wish you were them. you then realise who they are and are glad that you're you. You love life. You hate life. In the end you just find yourself happy to be living life, no matter what's thrown at you.
