smile!

Have you ever taken out a picture from when you were little and just stared at it, remembering even the tiniest details of that day? In that one second when the shutter opens and a stain is left on a memory card or a roll of film is one of the most unforgettable moments in your life whether you know it or not, because there will always be that one photo to look back on and remember even the smallest details of that day - whether it be what you did after the photo was taken or what you had for dinner that night, or a simple joke but the most important thing is, you remember you. You have to remember the person in the photo no matter what because that one day when you are looking back on it, just knowing how much you have grown can give you the courage to keep going and see who you will turn out to be and to just keep going to make sure there is another picture.
Not only is a picture worth a thousand words, it's worth a thousand memories and it's those memories mean a thousand words. 


"Smile though your heart is aching 
Smile even though it's breaking 
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by 
If you smile through your fear and sorrow 
Smile and maybe tomorrow 
You'll see the sun come shining through for you 

Light up your face with gladness 
Hide every trace of sadness 
Although a tear may be ever so near 
That's the time you must keep on trying 
Smile, what's the use of crying? 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile 

That's the time you must keep on trying 
Smile, what's the use of crying? 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile"
 - Nat King Cole
